Tail Unit only
This tail unit was picked up by a fish trawler in March 2007 near Larissa Bay at the Island of Volos in Greece. It is currently stored at the Hellenic Air Force Museum at Dekhelia Air Base, Athens. The right Tailing Edge Unit has a manufacturer plate 4051, but this is not the serial no. of the aircraft! Probably this aircraft was shot down during the Greece invasion between 11th and 13th April 1941. It should have been shot down by RAF Hurricanes.
