Re: The mystery Mosquito of Cirkus Rosarius - solved?
I believe the scene shows the capture of these hangars and everything is as yet untouched. In other words, all aircraft shown belonged to the Germans. Note the jeep at the entrance. All other equipment like the truck, Kettenkrad and tractor are German. The Mustang seems to confirm this too, as it's most likely 44-14687 of the 350th FS/353rd FG, which was lost on 24 March 1945 with its pilot made POW.
There is no sense in repainting a captured Mosquito before restoring it. And naturally it had to be disassembled to be transported from France to Germany. T9+XB was never flown, despite being in much better condition.
