Captured Fw190 photo

[John Manrho]

Hello David, not sure why you list the Werknummer as 601095.....we have that Ebay picture of December 2014 which in my opinion shows 601090 which was also confirmed by the seller. Does anybody know who acquired that original picture back in December? Perhaps we can get a better scan.

Indeed the 600422 was basically an estimated guess by some years ago as the other images were not available yet.

About the repainting of schwarze 3. We have seen this feature on several a/c of I./JG 6 (many A-8's), but not so much on II./JG 6. The reasoning behind the repainting within I./JG 6 is pretty much clear to me, but schwarze 3 is unclear. Note that the II. Gruppe seems not repainted which leads me to the conclusion that this a/c either came from another unit or from I./JG 6 (which seems not logical).

Alexander, if your are willing to provide me with an high resolution scan of your picture from my planned JG 6 Unit History, then I would be most gratefull.

Cheers,

John
