If it is an A-2, Kjetil, it would have "slot" louvers as opposed to the "flap" type which were only on late production A-4s and all A-5s on.

Yep, WNr 5425, same Gruppe of JG 5 and an A-2. Are you saying this is the recovered machine and the same machine? as listed in June? If so, I guess it was repaired after the June BL.

Thanks
