What means FRW Saarpfalz?

[retje]

My response was only to translate "Front Reparatur Werft".

But the abbreviation of "Flugwerke Pfalz" was PFW, wasn't it?

Well, I found the place and its history yesterday. Here is:


https://www.pfw.aero/en/historie#146...-9b8b30b7-c166


So a confusion about the abreviation still is unsolved? FRW or not...



I enclose here a small excerpt from the Fw 58 losses listing for reference:

Is it not possible that this factory was serving as a front repair facility?

Looks logic. A german translation could be Frontreparaturwerkstatt not?
