Hi guys...

According to his book "Testing for Combat", Erich Brown flew an airworthy example at Stade in Germany on a 15 minute restricted test flight in late October 1945. He makes mention that in his opinion there was little point recommending that the Ta154 be shipped back to the RAE. However, according to "War Prizes" by Phil Butler, three dismantled examples found at the Luftpark at Paderborn were selected for shipment to the RAE at Farnborough. It appears that at least one arrived at Farnborough where it was subjected to engineering investigation, resulting in the issue of report EA 262/1. Butler also suggests that is may have received an untraced Air Min number.

Kind regards
