Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

It has been reported as belonging to Technische Shule 3 at Schleissheim (near to Munchen-Oberwiesenfeld). Possibly I would think that the W/Nr was placed close to the cockpit for clarification for ground crews working on the aircraft. I have not seen this anywhere else so clearly was locally based.
However, I have seen something like this used on RAF aircraft being shipped to Supply Depots in France (circa early/mid 1940) possibly for shipment back to UK for repairs. Most fuselages had the Type of aircraft, some with dates painted close to the cockpits areas.
