Do 335 A-1 Air Ministry AM225 --> W.Nr. 240161?

[Roger Gaemperle]

Ed,

that is the aircraft I am referring to. Before US and later British markings were applied it may have had German markings incl the last 3 digits of its serial number m. But even if not, I could not find a photo that shows it without Allied markings.

Revi16, 240112 was the two-seater that was also given to the British. Its identity is confirmed, but the singleseater is unclear.

According to Smith and Creek (Pg. 117-122 with many photos and profiles,) the two-seat variant was 240112.

The single-seat variant was an A-1, and in the verbatim was: "W.Nr. 24016?". (They provide seven photos of it, none of which show it in German livery.) The British registration was AM 225.

The Regnat text states that the aircraft was captured in an "unpainted" state: "except for areas of the cowling and the tail." (Pg. 171)

Photographs in the Smith, Creek and Hitchcock text suggests that the aircraft was not W.Nr. 240162. That aircraft was missing it's rear engine, and painted in German livery.

Best guess is: W.Nr. 240161.
