Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Gentlemen, some new finds from a russian source: Prenzlau airfield this time.

There are several shots spread over different threads over on modelforum.cz, for example here:
https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic....1020&start=915
or here: https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic....4253&start=120


I have attached one particular nice photo. Now, they all seem to originate from this russian site: https://pamyat-naroda.ru/, but unfortunately no specific link is given on modelforum.cz. Can anyone speaking/reading Russian help locate the original source?

Christian,

unfortunately I can't help further, as i rely on the same source... Just a quick side note: those are non-eBay finds and, if i remember well, there is a dedicated thread for those as well in this forum.

Cheers
Marc

Hi Post 2293 & 2294

Does anybody know the location of the Focke-Wulf repair facility where this Russian photo was taken at.

Thanks

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Tom. The caption says Prenzlau, which is an airfield about 100 km northeast of Berlin. I don't think is a dedicated repair facility, though. Just a typical airfield maintenance hangar.

Spektor, thanks a lot! There is quite a lot of amazing material there (even though, 11.000 scans on just a single site take some time to load ). I have since found two more interesting shots which did not appear on modelforum.cz. These should be IV./JG 3 Fw 190s, no?

And sorry Marc, you are right with this being a dedicated ebay thread - I forgot, but I think this one time it will be okay

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

In post 2292, can anyone identify the plane in the first or second pictures? Different planes are the markings are in white vs black, but I'm very curious what the second pic is of.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hem ...

Not necessarily a "captured" machine if a Morane Saulnier MS 500.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Very likely a post liberation built MS 500
The ones which the Germans left behind (at the factory) were checked and given new construction numbers by Morane in the 2000 range.

The photo seems to be from Indo China and I doubt very much a single captured Fi 156 ever was sent there.

Cheers
Stig
