Hi Peter,
Wow! You just scored a 100%, A+ on this Fw190 "test". Sorry, no photos; however, as you may imagine, there's a plate involved. On to LEMB next...
Thank you,
Steve

- Pilot F/Lt.D.B.Baker killed
- Cause of crash thought to have been a failure of the hydraulic motor of the propeller pitch control which allowed the engine to overspeed. The pilot had not previously flown Luftwaffe types and was possibly unfamiliar with other controls that could have over-ridden the unit. This crash, along with others, resulted in severe restrictions being placed on flying ex-Luftwaffe types.

Does anybody have any photos or can point me to any of this two-seater?
