Denea & Stig - The DL+DQ marking is consistent with the practice of identifying field equipment (canopy-covers - engine covers) in relation to the aircraft concerned.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Hi Tom

Yes I have seen some photos where I think tarpaulin has had such markings.

I always thought it was a way to mark a belonging, ie this item belongs to this aircraft and that they used the
STKZ as readily available identifier.

Not sure if you confirm or deny this here....?

Cheers
Stig

Error.

Not quite what the seller says Ed

This is Japanese Kawasaki Ki-45

Thanks Stig.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

I think on the tarpaulin cover for the cockpit in general they put the WNr, not the StKz.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

You could well be quite correct there Rudi
I admit I never paid much attention to that phenomena....

Cheers

The tarpaulin covers had both the W/Nr and Stkz details - it would seem that the take-off wheel dolly would most likely have been stowed with the aircraft some times but mostly at the operators base.
