Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Post #4732 - I received a copy of this photo, sans signature, from the late Jim Crow decades ago. I believe that it is Gothær-Waggonfabrik-built Bf 110 G-4, WNr. 180564, found abandoned at Fl.Horst Ansbach (coordinates 49.308333 10.641667). Note, this is a very poor reproduction of it.
Respectfully,

Thanks a lot, glad I asked!:) These pictures were unknown to me. I have been a member of 12 O'Clock High for as long as I can remember, but for some strange reason I have completely overlooked this thread in 2016...

Very helpful! Regards,

Marcel

Thanks Nick! I have both editions, will check.

Although my comment was only helpful if there was a typo, since (as I should have pointed out) the aircraft in the photo is 330718, not …178.

Attached are details from the two Ju 88 wreck photos side-by-side, with some adjustment to bring out the Werk Nummer of one of them. We appear to have 330716 and 330718: to me the curves of the final digit on each aircraft look differen.t

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Greetings to all,
Unless I am mistaken, the Fw 190 illustrated in Post #4727 is a relatively-rare Fw 190 A-7, WNr, 430706, St.Kz. CT+LO, which was abandoned in a large collection of aircraft at Einsatzhafen Bayreuth-Bindlach, Germany (coordinates 49.984722 11.638889). Of particular interest is the hand-applied white script below its cockpit.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
