Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The references I referred to (books and 'net) stated W.Nr. 111074...

However, I do have a number of photos of this 262, which I have gone back to review. Very close examination of the tails gives a W.Nr. 111747. So the books are incorrect and I can confirm David's posting. It is unique that 111747 is not applied in a continuous display. There is a significant gap between 111 and 747 applied to the tail.

My files now corrected.

Post #3433 – I too have unmarked ArbGem-built Fw 190 S-8, WNr. 350194, as being abandoned at Fl.Horst Gablingen. Its original national markings consisted of late-war all-black Balkenkreuze and white-outline Hakenkreuze.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Thanks for this information, Steve. As a confirmation for the location we can see in the background Bf 109 G-12 W.Nr. unknown "Weisse 60", well documented by several photos known to have been taken at Gablingen.

Cheers
Marc

A new photo of WNr.110748.
Hope the real pic is better than this poor scan.
Thanks Michiel.

Here it is straightened out and cleaned up a bit. The "A6/L" stencils on the port nacelle show up a bit more clearly.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Does anyone know what the A6/L stencil represents on the 262?

Mark Proulx

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The photo in post 3459 shows the starboard engine. The visible stencil A6/R ,"recht" indicating the right side.

Lubo.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Post #3461: it looks as if the markings are +CL with the C in yellow with a thin black outline, superimposed on the fuselage band (adjusted image attached).
