Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!

Facinating info on "Black theory" or that airplane was painted black under?

News of black painted airplane is not news per se. Post #167 (17 May 2012) I mention this: "Looking at paint, I think this airplane was black under, either overall black or partly black only on undersides. Maybe no news to them familiar with He 219, but careful study of this can aid in indentification later on."

I think we are fairly certain this might be He 219 A-7 version, with DB 603 E1. Then it begs the question if letters "LXX 707" on the flap/aileron data tags also refer to Rostock made A-7īs.

Then what of painted numbers "122 123" found on outside of wingtip end-rib. One pet guess of mine in recent months be that "wing unit" (one piece wing) might have been 22nd or 23rd (A-7) wing or 122nd or 123rd (in total He 219 production, or assembled by Rostock).

Then, still no news of, if anybody has looked at "inside of hatches" on the wings underside. If so, I may have missed out on that have no info?
