Two shots of the “Proctuka” and two of the camera-ship – a B-25

I also quote from the site:

A combined Army-Navy order for 1,000 Fl-282s was given to Flettner and BMW in 1944. Tooling up was begun, but heavy aerial bombardment of the Flettner and BMW factories resulted in none of these machines being built. Only a total of 25 Kolibris had been manufactured by Flettner at war’s end. Luft-Transportstaffel 40 based at Ainring in April 1945, had at least three Fl-282s (and also three Focke Achgelis Fa-223s) at its disposal. during the last few months of the war and this unit made many flights into and out of besieged and encircled towns transporting dispatches, mail, and key personnel. It was possibly one of this unit’s Fl-282s that flew Gauleiter Hanke out of besieged Breslau just before the capture of that city.

My point was that when the unit (LTS 40) had at least three Fl-282’s – it is doubtful that “several” (as quoted by you) have been shot down.

Martin, would that be you in the third pic from the top?
I love the Hurricane!

nope 😀

I would have been smaller then (my manufacture’s plate states “delivered in 1965”) – I have these photos in my collection but cant remember where from…

And I love that Hurricane shot, too !

Życzę cu miłego wieczoru & dowędzenia !

Hey Dave,

Does anyone know if it was released on DVD ?
