Re: The mystery Mosquito of Cirkus Rosarius - solved?

Aircraft sometimes survive a crash that crew members don't. But seeing as the Mustang was captured just a couple of weeks before it was "liberated", August 1944 is a bit of a stretch, let alone January 1944. I reckon we need to look closer to the date of the photo. Here are alternative possibilities:

NS859 on 29 February 1945
NS899 on 22 February 1945
RS563 on 22 February 1945

All these are 613th Sqn a/c which went MIA. Perhaps one was SY-E or a replacement SY-F?
