A visit to my parents and an inquiry about an old shot I remembered from some 25 years ago of a crashed He111 unearthed this series of images my dad took while stationed at Gatow in ‘47/48.

Not really had a chance to find out more details other than the basic info written below each shot in the album or what I think they are. Happy to be corrected on any of the images

Anyone else have family or friends who were based at Gatow in 1947/48 or pictures/info from this period that I could show my dad

1-3 – Dakotas / DC3’s
4-5 – DF Truck
6 – Fw-189
7 – HP Halton

Cheers

Nice pics Chris,

The Halton is in fact a C Mk VIII G-AIHX serial PP294, it crashed 03.09.1948 at Squires Gate during a night landing. Haltons had a solid nose fairing.
