Pic in post 1503. Note over-spray of tail plane camo onto the fin.
The three victories on 18/8 were all in the space of three minutes. I think two of the three returned 'damaged but repairable'.
The 'Nazi censor' seems to have censored the werknummer!

Why do you think that?
Airframes
Benevolens Magister
Because he "bounced" and shot down three Hurricanes in three minutes, near Cantebury.
Just the time of the claims and British records of the time (allowing for the one hour time difference).
To be fair to Schopfel, he had a rather busy few minutes and can hardly have watched what happened to the three aircraft he claimed. All three were hit.

Is that Siegfried Schnell?
It certainly looks like him and I have a picture of what I think is the same aircraft which matches those markings. There are another three victories obscured by the elevator in the picture posted above.
The picture must have been taken in the summer of 1942, probably at Theville in France.
