I tried to blow up as much as I could the low-res picture, but could not see any Gustav with RHAF type cross. Which plane do you mean?

I meant this:

However, at a closer look it might just be that the simplified white German cross is visible.

Another picture of the W.Nr.760070 you find in "Under the red Star" by C.-F. Geust on page 98. Then I have an picture of this place published in the former GDR magazine "Neue Berliner Illustrierte" ... and there you can see that the "Hungarian Cross" is indeed an simplified German cross. The location was given there as Berlin - Johannisthal.

Best wishes

Hello everyone,

Regarding the WNr. just visible inside of the D/F loop, I too tried playing with the photo and came up with 4?0735, though like Marc, I am uncertain of my conclusion.

Indeed, it appears to be the same site.
You have very good eyes, Rasmussen! I would have never guessed it.

Steve,

I strained my eyes again and am concurring for your W.Nr proposal: 4?0735. Given those numerals, the only possible production batch for the G-6 subtype is in the 410'000 - 411'000 range, built by Erla.

Rasmussen,

Thanks for your information, you make my day. Any chance to scan this second picture as I do not have "Under the red Star" by C.-F. Geust?

Cheers
Marc

It could also be from WNF 440'000 range. Considering the different wrk.nr ranges it just have to be an advanced repairfacility. The aircraft seem to have been re-fitted with tall tails and repainted as they seem to have uniform paintjobs and a uniform style for the Wrk.Nr'n even though the Wrk.Nr'n are from different ranges and factories.

I don't have any closer location than what was written in the book and cited earlier, sorry.

Cheers! / Anders

Hi Anders,

You're of course right! How could I miss this WNF production block for the G-6/U 4 subtype?

Thanks for the pointer!

Cheers
Marc
