Re: Photos 8-14
Hello Ed and marc,
Regarding Post#1 and #2, after carefully comparing equipment, markings and distinctive characteristics, I believe that the Fw190 in question was photographed at Straubing and not Neubiberg. Several facts support my thesis: All of the Fw190F-8s at Neubiberg carried II.Gruppe bars not III.Gruppe bars (except for a few brand new unmarked Fw190F-9s). Also, note the looming P-47 prop in the foreground; Neubiberg was occupied by the 357th FG with P-51 Mustangs not Thunderbolts.
Instead, I suggest that this aircraft is: Fw190F-8, WNr. 580351, 5+ I black, surrendered at Straubing, Germany.
Thank you again both for your hard work.
