Thank you Kim.

Answering your question I see two (three digit) "sets" of numbers (on right outer wing end) but togeather they make an six digit number - "122 123" - and then no similar markings on other end.
Wing was one piece, as I understand from factory manuals, so wing marked only on one end, perhaps makes sense in that this (possibly) be the number for the whole (wing) or even the aircraft W.Nr. ?

My privat He 219 "list" (and far from complete) does not have any starting with 12x xxx but covers (possible blocks) for only about 220 - 230 aircraft in total, including W.Nr. starting with 000 xxx, 190 xxx, 210 xxx, 290 xxx, 310 xxx, 420 xxx.

I wonder if same or similar numbers be found on covers on bottom of wing are examined. NASM bird had W.Nr. penciled on one wing end (per Tony Kambic posts) and also inside bottom panels.

Best regards

Hello all,

I had some days off and see these postings for the first time. Kim: thank you for sharing the latest discoveries with us!

The 219-300 and 219-301 numbers do refer to the ailerons left and right and (again) lxx refers to the manufacturer of these parts.

Ed: may I contact you about the Werkenummer/flight logs off board ? That subject would blur the ongoing search here for the identity of the Danish He219 I guess.

Best wishes, Marcel

Hello

Row E number 1: Lichtstärke (light intensity)
Row E number 2: Rücklicht (tail lights switch); Einteisung (de-icing switch)and (in the background) Termostat (heating switch)

All the best, Marcel

The 122 & 123 is identical to how the production facility would have marked various large areas with the airraft werk number. This was VERY common on the Me109 and Fw190.

It is strange that the numbers are 2 groups, and are sequential...

So not sure if that would reference anything with the werk.

But those are the types of markings to look for inside the fuselage.

Harrison. Yes, I agree (similar can be found in some Ju88s) but then you are contradicting yourself, in line four. I do belive these may be factory related, and possibly tie in with W.Nr. in some way.

One thought I have had, is that (wing) had been ear-marked to "123" but then (one wing not ready in time or destroyed) and wing assembly moved "forward" one "notch" to "122" (perhaps used on 122nd aircraft ?)

And, Yes, numbers from other parts may solve this puzzle.

Anyways, I am investigating factory info just in from Marcel but have not had enough time to digest (@Marcel - replay mail in your gmail box).

Best regards

Hello All

New photos from the He-219 in Denmark.

Please look at >>>>> www.danas-have.dk/He219.htm

Camera 1. Row 4A Picture 1 + 2 Pls note : The air bottles dont belong here !!!

Photo of the description of fuel-cones, and the braces and brackets from
the bottom of the plane , in front of the mutter compass.

We still need answers, why there was a magazine and ammo for the MG-15. Could this be the 3 seat in version A-5 ??

Dear Kim,

Please look at my posting #16, there are no A-5's and the sole "3 seats" He219's were either
- ordinary series produced A-0's, A-2's or A-7's with an emergency seat in the aft fuselage part (as can be seen at your latest photo)
- ordinary series produced A-0's at the II./NJG 1 where the aluminium plating of the aft entrance door panel was replaced with perspex. In this second case, you can't speak of a real 3 seater, it's a sort of emergency solution
- one of the very few (at the moment 2 identities known) 3 seat prototypes, which - if succesfull - could have been produced as the planned A-5 but this version went never into production.

Everybody may firmly believe that there actually flew A-5's around but as I have told over and over again, there are no documented indications for that myth. Unless someone comes with indispituble evidence of these UFO, I stop commenting on He219A-5's, pink elefants, Yeti's and sightings of Adolf Hitler in the grocery shop next door.

Dear all,

I must apologize: there is quite an A-5 production but these are from AUDI, not Heinkel...

Hi Marcel

I'm glad that you confirm that the myth is still valid.

# 184 : there are no documented Indications for that myth

Please see attached.
