Perhaps this was the He111 loss at Buxey Sands your friend was looking for:
- He111H-6 – WNr.4219 – SF+QG – coded 6N+ER (white E) of Erpr.Kdo.17/KG100 – 100% loss, Buxey Sands, Essex, England on 07-Sep-42. Shot down by an enemy Havoc Mk.II of 85 Sq. (McCormick & Nixon). Oblt.Hans Müller KIA with crew [sources: Gen.Qu.6.Abt.(mfm #7)-Vol.11; Balke, KG100, p.437; The Blitz, Then & Now, p.174 txt]
I’ve got nothing else for that location with regards Do17/Do215/Do217/Ju88 or Ju188…

Cheers

Do you know what became of the crew? Did all survive? Were they all on board when it crash-landed? Wonder if any of them are still with us?
- He111P-2 – WNr.2624 – coded 1G+FS of 8./KG27 – 100% loss, Border House Farm near Chester, England on 14-Aug-40. Shot down by enemy fighters. Oblt. Arthur Wiesemann POW with crew [sources: Waiss, Boelcke-Archiv, II, p.204; BoB, T&N, p.569 txt., fotos; Mason, p.247]

Seeing that there has been an unprecedented number of membership applications today as a result of the original topic of this thread (not the subsequent nonsense) I’ve unrestricted access to the forum so that non-members can see what we get up to 🙂

Also, as an important aside, if you do take the plunge and apply to become a member, please can you give some thought and come up with a sensible username… its a simple request, so please don’t be offended if your application is rejected. Why not just try again but this time use something sensible 😉 If you want to take this up with me personally, can you drop me a PM rather than dilute the original topic of discussion here…

Finally, I’ve dropped Gilles Collaveri an email via the LEMB and asked him to pop here and provide an update…

Great images Andy… can I reproduce these on the 5./JG52 emblem thread on the LEMB, with appropriate credit to your good self?

You can, but although this image is in my collection I have no note of its original source

Many thanks Andy 😉

Andy – can we reproduce the crash shot in post #21 over on the LEMB please? Usual credit for its source will be garnished with gay abandon 😉

September 7, 2013 at 6:12 pm in reply to: What are Luftwaffe 'Theatre Bands' for? #959108

Peter D Evans
Participant

There were two main theatre bands CD… white for the Mediterranean theatre of Ops and yellow was used on the Eastern Front. These were applied, sometimes in conjunction with a similarly coloured nose, engine cowlngs, wing tips or rudders, to aid quick identification both in the air and on the ground. During the later stages of the war, when defence of the Reich was the Luftwaffe’s main priority, a series of one, two or even three coloured fuselage bands was introduced and this also stemmed from the need for quick air-to-air identification between Luftwaffe units and the Allied escorts. The page linked below explains the RV (Reichsluftverteidigung) bands and is taken from an official Luftwaffe document dated 20.Feb.45:

Hurricane, closely followed by a Spitfire heading west over Caterham/Chaldon. The Spitfire appeared to be a late Mk with D-Day stripes…

Take a look here… its a shame that the main identification plate is missing off the example above, but perhaps somebody here can match Gerat.Nr.102-523A-1 with another example?
