NO IMAGE This repaint depicts the Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 ?White 6? 1./JG 3 flown by Lt Heinz Schnabel. At 08.40 hrs on 5 September, Lt. Heinz Schnabel took off to escort Do 17 bombers attacking Croydon. On the return flight, Spitfires and a Hurricane split Schnabel's aircraft off from its formation and damaged the engine, resulting in a forced landing in a field at Handen Farm near Aldington, Kent, at 10.10 hrs. This aircraft had two victory stripes on the tail but these, according to Schnabel, were scored by the previous pilot. Enjoy!
