Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
Hello Marcel/all,
Ok. I understand; same flaps/ailerons for A-0, A-2, A-7 and D-1. Engines be the decisive thing for He 219 A-7.
#1, we perhaps need know if similar numbers can be found on wings of 290202 in NASM - as that be same factory (Rostock) as "our" (Danish) He 219 A-7 with likely W.Nr. in 310xxx block, possibly produced a little bit earlier, so should have lower number than "122" or "123" (if the 290202 has similar numbers at all).
#2, what is known of wing manufacturers in Czech Republic (Letov?) making main wings units, only for Heinkel in Wien, or also for Rostock? How many wings made there?
#3, List of users. I belive many (21) He 219 A-7 were sent to OKL-Reserve in February, March and April 1945. Are these same as NJG 3 aircraft?
#4, Find the day RAF (Allied) soldiers first arrived Westerland/Sylt. Find the day orders were issued (by RAF) that all propellers be removed, so them aircraft captured in Denmark, could not be flown. (In context: whould it have been tempting for a RAF pilot fly a airworthy He 219 just to try out the ejector seat, or a RAF Mosquito pilot fly a captured He 219 to see if he could evade a fellow RAF Mosquito? - Note: No info on this has been found, only speculation on my part, and them He 219 moved from Denmark were flown out.)
Many questions remain. Likely there will not be final answer untill all stones be turned over.
Best regards
