Re: Fw200 Questions

Hello both:

I have feeling this part-plate might still have come from W.Nr. 0176 as in ´my list´ this is:

0182 Fw 200 C-4 ( ) GC+SK Luftwaffe - F8+BR III/KG 40 (France) - Abandoned at Bordeaux/ Merignac, Airfield 1944/1945

... and I know parts (often?) bearing ´number near each other´ are known found ´in other machines close by´. This I think they were perhaps simply fitted to the nearest airframe on the factory floor - and this plate does not carry the 8-200- one whould expect to see at that point in the war. But alternatively is the scrap-source of the plate then not in UK but in France?

cheers
