FW190 A-5 WerkNr. #2688
 

Hi, I'm new here and looking for pictures of wreck - a downed Fw190 A-5 (WerkNr. # 2688).
This aircraft was from 16.6. - 23.6.43 at Auxerre WAGO for repair and came from the III. / JG26.
Later it was again there, namely on 27.9.43, came from I. / JG26, 70% damaged in forced landing at the 8.9.43 and finaly scrapped.
Maybe there´s any source for or is it in the hands of someone ?

Many Thanks

Hi Dan,

I know nearly all about this aircraft #2688 because it was my fathers aircraft and he was downed in it by Spitfire at the 8.9.43, forced landed at Sainghin en Melantois (France).
Not for sure is what happens with my father and the #2688 at the 20.6.43. At this day Boston III (107 Squadron) bombing airfield Poix escorted by Spitfire F.IX (403 and 421 Squadron). 3 victories over FW190 are recorded from No421 at this day and it seems one of them was my father. More I can´t say for the moment.
The reason why I searching some pictures of this #2688wreck is that I do a chronological report of the military career of my father.

Cheers

Maybe you have wreck-pictures of the #2688 or knowing something about them ?

Hi,

are there no more ideas where I can find pictures of this crashed aircraft ?

Re: FW190 A-5 WerkNr. #2688
 

Your father quoted as hard-wounded , did he flew later on ???


Remi

Re: FW190 A-5 WerkNr. #2688
 

Johnny,

Do you by chance know what the code number was on your dad's machine? That might aid in searching for the photos you are looking for.

Re: FW190 A-5 WerkNr. #2688
 

Hi Jim,

I think code number means "Stammkennzeichen", the number what was given to the aircraft when it was produced and it is written in something like a aircraft-history. But in the Geschwader-Staffel they got a different number (Verbands-Nummer) to identify each other. I only have the Werknummer - complete it is 152688, that´s the problem.

Regards,

Johnny

No Remi, he don´t flew again after this forced landing. The war was finished for him at 8.9.43 and he stayed long times in hospital. Before this war he was glider pilot and this he started again in 1952. There was just one last motorflight in the sixties during a airshow, with a Zlin326 togehther with the aerobatic pilot. A funny thing - my father showed him a nose dive from high, down to a low level flight like attacking a airfield. It still worked after all this years ;)
But poor aerobatic pilot - he was really worried about his Zlin, hehehe:D

Regards,

Johnny
