Most useful as I have a photo of 3U+EW taken at Vaernes

Now I am confused....was 420430 initially 3U+AK of 2./ZG 26 and then later with 3.(F)/122? How do we know that 420430 was 3U+AK which could mean that it was the a/c of the Staffelkapitän?

Cheers,

John

Hi John.

It was in Cosford during a paint stripping, that they discovered the Vkz 3U+AK and 3U+CC.

Chris,

Me 410 A-3, 10250, F6+OK, 2/122, 26 Nov 43 Monte Corvino, Ofw Artur Kammberger/Uffz Vitus Mirlach POW -
there might be something on this aircraft on the old LEMB, where it was stated: "Me 410 A-3, WNr.10259, F6+OK, 2(F)/AufklGr122 which landed intact and was captured at Monte Corvino in Italy (all via LEMB)" here http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...?showtopic=608

Chris,

The Me 410 landed on Montecorvino a/f at 0915 hours the 27th November, with both crew captured. At a preliminary stage we (MAW team) have it as being from 2(F)/122 WNr 10259 codes 5N + HR. See 73 Sqn History by Don Minterne Vol 3 p13. for a story on what happened.

Regards

Russell
