Fw 190 A-8, I./JG 301

[Angantyr]

Greetings!

I have followed the debate regarding JG 301:s late-war markings with some interest, and I have been impressed by the research.

Being no expert myself, I would never the less like to ask a question: on the previous home-page for JG 301, there was displayed a photo of a Fw 190A-8 (red 11) late-1944 wearing a white-green-white RV band. This has also been illustrated by Mr Christer Bergström.

The question is as follows: was this a short-lived RV variation, or was this aircraft a “hand-over” from another unit?

Being on the subjekt, I can still recall the medieveal times of aviation research (the sixties)
When Profile Publication was the state of the art. Especially the number covering the Fw 190 D-9 with its illustration of an aircraft claimed to have been operated by III/ JG 54 wearing a most colourful RV band of red-yellow-red, and I still encounter this on the net from time to time.

Best wishes to all!
