Re: FW 190 A STKZ DT+FO

Hi Chris,

Whilst writing up and research the histories of the RAF Museum a/c which was never published by RAFM - I have the following in my note book which came about whilst researching there F-8 two seater.

RAFM have other pic's too if it's the same a/c.

Andy

FW.190A-4/U-8, Unit: ex II/SKG 10, Serial: PE882, ex H (W.Nr.47155). Feldwebel Otto Bechtolt's machine following capture at West Malling.

FW.190A-4/U-8, Unit: unknown, Serial: PM679, ex 9 (W.Nr.45843).

On arrival at Manston this aircraft had a heavy black distemper coat obscuring all insignia on the fuselage, fin and undersides except for a red 9. This appears to have been applied by brush, not sprayed on. The pilot Ufz. Heinz Ehrhardt mistakenly landed at Manstone.

At RAF it was piloted by J. A. Storrar (?). Farnborough, On 15 July 1943.
