Fw190A W.Nr and Factory (Werk plate)

[Andrew Arthy]

Hi Mark,

The Werk Nummer should be 0150 1227, and not 0151227.

W.Nr 0150 1113, 0150 1145, and 0150 1285 were all built by Focke-Wulf at Bremen.

Cheers,
Andrew A.

So both half right and half wrong?

0150 1227 and Focke Wulf Bremen.

Mark,

Courtesy of Andrew's great 190 site, here's a 190A-5 main plate, W.Nr. 1595.

My experience with 190 plates (make that plates in general), indicates that manufacturer letter codes (denoting primary builder, license builder and/or builder factory site) were not consistently used. This applies to main airframe ID plates as well as airframe component and subassembly data plates.

Here you will find examples of each type.

Am not sure this answers your question, but variability is common when it comes to entries on plates, especially hand entered information, even at the same factory, across production blocks.
