I am having a hard time seeing the werk number. I think it might be 111516.

It's not 111516 as that isn't a good number.

Hi Luftquest, correct W.Nr. is definitely 500516.

Well done Marc. It was at Muenchen-Riem 26 April 45, and then found in a dump there.

Nice find.

Wnr 500 516 was found at Munich-Riem. Later also photographed on a scrap heap.

Hello,

That is resolving two or three other different pictures of the same plane with "unknown WNr."
Thank you Craig for this sharp find.

Franck.
