Fw 190 A-8 Werknummer 730442 - Any info?

[ChristianK]

The title says it all - Is there any info about the service life of this plane? All I have is that it must have been completed in May/June 1944 at AGO's Oschersleben plant.

Regards,
Christian

No direct record, but the ones around it were assigned to JGs 2 and 26

A photo of this plane in an abandoned state is currently on sale on ebay. The Werknummer isn't legible on the scan, but the seller told me he reads 730442. As the plane wears an interesting scheme I was interested in its service history, so I asked whether there is any info.

I will post the link when the bidding has ended. (*selfish wink)

EDIT: It has ended: That's the a/c in question (with a belated thanks to Ed West):

I have the W.Nr. 730442 as an A-8/R-6 St.kz. SH+UE delivered spring/summer of 1944 (this series was begun in April 1944) by Ago Oschersleben (jhe).

Seems to have had an overpainted four-letter code with small Geschwader identification code and last letter "H" (1.St.)
