Hi Larry,
You can notice the FuG 200 radar on the nose. That alone whould date the picture in 1942 or even much later. This code I have from following "mission reports" dates. F8+CB OPS 26.03.1941 Bx/Stavanger ( ) F8+CB OPS 30.03.1941 Sv/Stavanger ( ) F8+CB OPS 08.04.1941 Bx/Bordeaux ( ) F8+CB OPS 29.03.1941 Bx/Stavanger ( ) F8+CB OPS 12.04.1941 Sv/Bordeaux ( ) F8+CB C-3 OPS 24.05.1941 Bordeaux/Brest (0050) F8+CB OPS 23.08.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( ) F8+CB OPS 03.10.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( ) F8+CB OPS 06.10.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( ) F8+CB OPS 19.07.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( ) F8+CB OPS 28.07.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( ) F8+CB OPS 03.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes 04. ( ) F8+CB OPS 09.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( ) F8+CB OPS 15.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( ) F8+CB OPS 18.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( ) I am not that much of Fw 200 specialist but version is likely C-3 or later.

Ed and Chris,
Thanks for your inputs. Your information puts this outside the time period for the EOE Project (to the end of 1940), so I don't need to give this further consideration. I'm sure others, however, will be interested in the photo of this incident, especially some of our research friends in Norway. Warm regards, |

Ed: You are right! Trouble is there are too many accidents at Vaernes to positively identify this without a Wk Nr

Thanks Larry for posting.
Yes, indeed Chris, but I wonder if this was perhaps ex-TA+MG (look at traces of StKz. T+A just visible under the right wing), then W.Nr. 0205 (40% Er due engine failures) on 20.6.43 comes up as candidate - no location is given for this accident in LWFLV losses - but FuG 200 Radar + camouflage & markings, might indicate this time frame.

TA+MG/0205 suffered 40% dam at Vaernes on 20 Jun 43 so perhaps you are correct
