At the time of the capitulation in May 1945, this unit was located at Vaernes and Gardermoen airifelds in Norway and a total of 32 Ju 188A-3 aircraft ended up in the hands of RAF Aircraft Disarmament Squadron in this country. 190329 was NOT among them and had probably been flown sout-east to assist in the Kurland evacuation.

Thank you very much for this information. Indeed, it was not found at the airfields in Norway, but at Lübeck Blankensee where a number of aircraft used for the Kurland evacuation landed on the last day of the war.

Hi Tony, thank you for the list. That was very helpful as it allowed me to identify the location of some other photos of Ju 188, Ju 88 and He 111 that I have in my collection. Regards, Roger
