Bf109 G-10s captured by Soviets

Hi,

I am looking for any info on G-10s captured, tested or evaluated by Soviet Air Force during WW2.

I know via C-F Geust's `Under the RedStar` that a G-10, WNr.130 297 10/JG51 landed in Sweden in May 1945, and was flown by Soviet pilot, however it is said the a/c crashed before the ferry flight to the USSR.

From a Russian book detailed airial industry development of the USSR, there are some level speed curves about a G-10, however I'd like to figure out wheter these come from Soviet trials or just repeat some German documentation?

Thanks in advance.

It was not flown by a Soviet pilot, but was supposed to be delievred to the Russians by the Swedish. But the a/c suffered a landing gear collapse on landing at a Swedish airfield during Swedish evaluation and had to be scrapped before delivery to the Soviet.

Thanks! Any idea where the G-10 curve comes from in the "TsAGI book"?

The soviets captured huge bounty in the Vistula-Oder-campaign in Pommerania 1945, iirc ca. 700 A/C. There should have been the on eor other G-10 in servicable condition among these i.e.
