Hi all,

According to an Allied list, 4 Fw 190 II./Sch.G. 2 wrecks were found at La Sebala and one SKG 10 wreck without tactical code (W.Nr. 0155 869). The photo album page shown at WAF (see link in the 1st post of this thread) shows 3 different Fw 190. One was Black E, one was a burnt-out wreck and one shows a turned-over wreck.

W.Nr. 1257 "D+" may be the turned-over wreck as it was not burnt-out when found. The turned-over wreck has a completely white spinner, which would point more towards SKG10 (although at least one Fw 190 of II./Sch.G. 2 in Sicily is known that also featured a completely white spinner). On a close-up of the side view, one can recognize what appears to be the first letter of its Stammkennzeichen over the white fuselage band. It was a "T". It probably was the SKG 10 wreck W.Nr. 0155 869 as it did not carry any markings. Does anybody know the St.Kz. of 0155 869?

The following Fw 190 A-5 with T as the first letter in their StKz belonged to SKG 10 or JG 2:

TD+SS W.Nr. 150881 III./SKG 10 June 1943
TJ+GH W.Nr. 896 9./SKG 10 May 1943 (maybe a typo and this was 869?)
TJ+GL W.Nr. 900 III./SKG 10 June 1943
TJ+YA W.Nr. ? 10./SKG 10 April 1943
TJ+YB W.Nr. ? 6./JG 2 March 1943

Last but not least, I am trying to find out more about the history of W.Nr. 1257 (see my previous post). I'd be glad if anybody has some more information or a copy of the original Allied list of captured aircraft at La Sebala.

Cheers,

Roger
