While I have no absolute proof, I suspect that the unmarked, NDW-built Fw 190 F-8 (WNr. 932645) may be the other one.

Hello Steve,

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. II./SG 3 fits with the information I have from US sources. Is there any photo known of these two aircraft? I cannot remember having seen them before.

Regards,

Roger

Nick,

thank you. Yes, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Very interesting story. I wonder if there are any photos of these aircraft.

Thank you,

Hi Roger.
Thanks to Steve Sheflin, who added the W.Nr. of "gelbe 14". I know only photo "gelbe 14" and the view left side of the "gelbe 14" from a short video from Agentur Karl Höffkes.
Lubo.
