Need help in Norway.

[Sergio Luis dos Santos]

As some of you know I´m working in a book on the Fw 58. I have got some interesting information regarding the Weihe in Norway. A researcher pointed me that one (maybe three) ones were captured by RAF´s 88 Group in Norway being latter handed to Royal Norwegian Air Force. Olve Dybvig sent me weeks ago some information and I could locate one matching plane. Unfortunately my messages to Olve are coming back and even a try through private message in this forum got no response. I hope Olve is ok and maybe on vacancy!

I would appreciate any other Norwegian research could help me in finding more information about those machines to confirm or correct them as well as any photo available of them.

Thanks in advance,

Many thanks Seaplanes. I´m not in home but it looks the very same listing that Olve sent me. So it looks just one of the machines found it´s way to R.No.A.F.:

W.Nr. 58046 Ob.Qu. Reserve at Bardufoss. Taken over by R.No.A.F. 03.07.45 for use as communication aircraft. Later damaged at Hattfjelldal airfield. Probably broken up at site.

Hope one photo from this plane could surface and have it in the book.

Hugs,
