eBAy: Captured german planes

[lumabe]

Please note TH+RU had the smal "th" letter like this "th+RU". Witch unit used this code ? I saw an other plane, a Fw 190 S-5 or S-8 at Bad Aibling with the code: BW+WC wrote like this : " BW+wc ' and yellow "27". Also a Ff 190 with small "vs+??".


Any idea about this unit ? Maybe a training unit ?


Best regards,
Lumabe.

Hello Everyone,
Lumabe is correct.
Regarding photo #1712, Fw 190 A-6 TH+RU, although not visible in this photo, it also features a yellow number 15 aft of its codes.
It is another in a series of at least ten Fw 190A-4, A-5, A-6, A-8 and S-8 versions that feature similar forms of markings: a St.Kz. where the first two letters are approximately 1/3 size, followed by a large yellow numeral behind.
Its right-wingtip-mounted-pitot tube, lack of lower wing coloring also suggests that it is a rebuilt airframe.
I currently have no idea of a unit for these aircraft.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
