Or, if the published werknummer is correct, then the stkz must have been RQ+BD. Perhaps an expert can clarify which it is?

A.I.2.(g) report 9/5 gives the (correct) Stamkennzeichen as RQ+BD.

the ivan:

Thanks for helping to sort this out. It makes perfect sense. Gromoll's aircraft was neatly sandwiched between several well known G-6 Gustavs that were transfered to the Swiss.

My thanks to all who replied! I still find it strange that no photos of 163 240 have turned up... maybe in time.

Yes, a data plate, a main plate no less, believed from this airplane did survive. From a thread of several years ago, here are the details:

I will repost a photo of the plate later in the week.

Have a great day gentlemen,

Guys

Rather strange with all contradictions in the AI report. Is this the compiler's fault or does the real report have such errors as landing times and Wnr? (02.40H/02.45H vs 03.00/20 minutes later and 412951/416951)
