Seeking photos of FL Bf109E of Uffz Max Reiss (8./JG52) down intact near Deal, Kent, on 25.7.40

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

It has always seemed strange to me that no photos have ever surfaced (that I know of) of the 8./JG52 Bf109E 6+~, flown by Uffz Max Reiss, down near Deal, Kent on 25.7.40. It apparently came down in good condition in an accessible area, and the report about it even says that it was "repairable." This early, a Bf109 in good condition would have been subject to a lot of attention, at least for local display purposes. Does anyone know anything about any photos that might have been taken of this a/c? If photos can be located, this one would make a good subject for a color profile for the EoE Project.

Hope someone can help.

Regards,
