Hi Tony - Sorry to disagree on your interpretation of the said W/Nr of this aircraft. I see the W/Nr clearly showing 69 and not 96 and there does not appear to be anything after this. Of all the examples of Foreign types I have in German use the aircraft's original construction number was always maintained either used in documentation or marked on the aircraft (usually on the fin) . I have never known any case where the previous Air Force Serial No would be used - although sometimes when the Balkenkreuz was first applied the original markings may have been kept until the next re-painting. So I stick to my original statement that the correct W/Nr 69 points to this being De Havilland c/n 7069 and therefore ex-French F-AMYS.
I do agree with Tony in saying that there was only a single Stkz system which included those issued in blocks and mixed format to the various manufacturers. Usually a tight reign was kept on any duplication but I believe that any mistakes made were at Unit level.
The Go 242 W/Nr 0021 is listed as the 1st Type A-1 but it is always assumed as being TD+IK but there is no proof of this.
