Re: 587xxx Arado-produced Fw 190 production date
Hello,
I am aware of the references averring that Fw 190 F-8 WNr. 587108, “48+ White” was found at Namur, Belgium. However, I think that Lippstadt has become its consensus location.
First, I can find no CEA (Crashed Enemy Aircraft) report for “48+ White.” One would think that if it were found “earlier” in Belgium, a technical evaluation team would have documented it.
Second, Jim Crow has multiple views of this aircraft, the majority of which cite Lippstadt as its location. Interestingly, several of these photos indicate that it was surrendered intact and later flown by US pilots. Does anyone have photos of it in its US guise?
Third, low hills are present in the background of several of my photos of “48+ White.” Are there any hills near Namur, Belgium?
