HI Ralf...

But..your conclusion does not fit. ALL G-10/U4's as DIANA were made new. That was already proven. The only thing made elsewhere was the rudder.

There were no design changes necessary if the aircraft was assembled using NEWLY manufactured parts...so the theory of adding an "improvement" does not make sense. and if known improvement were possible, they simply would not improve one aircraft...and not the next.

You must remember that the G-6 was a completely different aircraft, already obsolete by 1943...so upgrades and changes were necessary. The G-10 was NOT a part of the regular G-series. It was a brand-new aircraft design, which was the MOST advanced fighter built before the K. therefore no "upgrades" were necessary. Flettner tabs were not even in the original K design, and the G-10 had it...

I considered the engine (DB or DC) as the reason for the 2nd plate, however that too does not fit, as both DC and DB powered G-10's had both tags.

It would make more send to have a G-6 or G-14 with 2 data plates (which went through numerous changes)...not the most advance fighter built.

So...still no conclusion...the hunt goes on.
