eBAy: Captured german planes

[S Sheflin]

Hello again Rudi,
The Si 204 D-1 in your Post #3484 may be WNr. 3221xx, St.Kz. BU+P_ which was also photographed by members of an unknown US AAA unit at Fl.Horst/Industriehafen Kölleda, Germany in 1945 (coordinates 51.189075 11.217209).
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Hi Jon,

Taking into consideration that the tail is in shadow in bright sunlight, the tonal discrepancy may be deceiving. The Me 262 below is the only one I could find that closely matches the camo pattern.

Does anyone recognize the buildings in the background of Rudy's picture?

Thank you RudiS for this Fw 190 S-8 WNr 350194 at Ausburg or Gablingen (This is the same location ? ) Note the A-8/R8 wings with the Mk 108 gun's holes and the wheels doors like an A-3 version.. This plane had any crosses and any swastikas but had his WNr on the tail. I don't know if they're never been painted or were painted over with a light grey.


Best regards
Lumabe.

Hello Rudi and Lumabe,
Post #3433 – I too have unmarked ArbGem-built Fw 190 S-8, WNr. 350194, as being abandoned at Fl.Horst Gablingen. Its original national markings consisted of late-war all-black Balkenkreuze and white-outline Hakenkreuze.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Thanks for this information, Steve. As a confirmation for the location we can see in the background Bf 109 G-12 W.Nr. unknown "Weisse 60", well documented by several photos known to have been taken at Gablingen.

Cheers
Marc
