Hi out there , today we got som updates regardig the airframes history:
The aircraft was ferried on 20.02.43 from Deurne (where the repair was performed by Erla) to Vaerlöse (which acted as a Flugzeugschleuse for aircraft intended for JG 5).
my data came from an old list of flights from Überführungskommando/Luftzeuggruppe Belgien-Nordfrankreich. I have not stored a copy af this paper.
Merlin
And from Rasmussen
and during transfer the engine was changed in Stade because of engine failure (the repair ended on 23.03.1943 and the a/c was flown to Vaerloese).
