Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The Ju 52 D-ASPI on the "Sportzplatz" was not a 3mg4e, but originally a passenger plane for Ala Littoria (ex. I-BIOS) with Alfa-Romeo engines, chartered by Lufthansa from Ala Littoria in 1944.

On the right you can see the Ju 52/3m rio, W-Nr. 6700 (D-ACAW) "Heinrich Mathy" with the BMW 132 Dc and the three-bladed propellers.

Can someone confirm WNr 4052 is correct and also what happened to the aircraft.

Cheers

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Andy (and Snautzer for the additional photo)

Yes it helps a lot. So the WNr was correctly quoted after all.
I wonder why Matti differs? After all he is rarely wrong..... :)

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

This Fw 190A looks to me like CT+LQ. It appears to have an interesting camouflage scheme on wings.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

It's a Fw 190 A-7 most likely found at Bayreuth-Bindlach. Location is not 100% confirmed though, neither is (to me) if it's CT+LO or CT+LQ. Looks more like LQ though. Werknummer, accordingly, either 430706 or 430708.

Guns were removed, landing gear hydraulics defect, airframe was subjected to heavy repainting, no upper-wing crosses applied. Maintenance inscription underneath the cockpit ("Fw 190 A / WNr. 43070? / some three-letter/number code)

Looks like this plane has been decommisioned for a while prior to being captured or was in the process of overhaul.
