"No news" is the news then! (I have the Trapani captured aircraft lists)
Then where? Were they still flying untill what date?
As one had had an accident at Trapani, I was merely checking if (or is wreck) was there still when area was captured, some time in August 1943. Apparently it was not. Can you elaborate on your answer? -Ed

W.Nr.15137 was scrapped in Bizerta (like we know)
W.Nr.15121 was salvaged in Trapani in the first days of June 1943 and transported with an lorry to Palermo, from there it was send in July to Neapel and then transported to an factory for dismantling ("Zerlegebetrieb") in Germany

But this would significate W.Nr.15121 received the port wing of W.Nr.15137 most probably in Tunisia. Because W.Nr.15121 left Sicily to be dismantled, the wing must have stayed in the Mediterranean. Maybe attached to one of JG53´s Bf109s captured at Sciacca or San Pietro?
