Bodenplatte: Fw 190 A of II./JG 4

[Erich]

hey Jerry, ah I note a photo at the bottom of page 102 of the Bodenplatte book ~ Pütz/Manhro but also looking closer it states under "restoration" / four 2cm cannon - oh great time for a face slap .......... it must be the Opa eyes acting up again...........

funny the pics via Nick and the 385 seem to show a cover over the outboard 3cm blast hole on the right wing. that cannot be right or ? as I mentioned my Monitor is not picking these up clearly. Interesting how faded out the white 11 is on the pics as well as the ones presented in other publications and even the several colour pics of the bird

I just returned from a short holiday and could not respond sooner. Of course this is Gefr. Walter Wagner's "weisse 11" who crashlanded his Fw 190 just outside the boundaries of St Trond airfield. Indeed these are the first pictures I have seen of this a/c before it was taken to the airfield by the 404th FG. Very interesting pictures.

Cheers,

John.

Ps. Ogfr. Peschel of 5./4 baled out of his Fw 190 near St.Trond and was taken prisoner on the a/f
