Help identifying crash FW190

Hi there, I would be grateful if anyone could provide information or leads on a belly landed FW190. My Grandad was in the RAF Regiment. He was at the following airfields: Sommervieu, Valailles, Corroy, Lille, Wevelghem, St Denis Westrem, Brussels-Melsbroek, Antwerp-Deurne, Mill, Drops and Fassberg. He was also at Berlin-Gatow.

The FW190 has a White 20 next to the German cross and above the swastika either 3223G, 32235 or 32236. Should there be six digits?

I am hoping to find out the pilot, his unit, the type of FW190, the location and date if possible.

Thank you for looking.

Spike

Re: Help identifying crash FW190

Spike,

this could be either the Fw 190A-8 WNr. 732235(or6) manufactured during August 1944 or the Fw 190F-8 WNr. 932235(or6) manufactured during July 1944.

On those four aircraft under question I have no final loss data.

Hello SpikeCov. If you show me the photo I could probably help with the A/c identification.

Hi Merlin

Thank you for the information.

Was loss data records destroyed/lost at the end of the war?

I take it that W.Nr are six digits and not five?

Did they do W.Nr starting with a 3 by any chance? Like a run/block of 3s?

I see if I can get photo off my mom and enhance the W.Nr.
