Re: What means FRW Saarpfalz?
Possibly Front Reparatur Werft = forward repair workshop?

Re: What means FRW Saarpfalz?
Sorry Gentlemen, all wrong! FRW stand for "Flugwerke Pfalz", the former Pfalz Flugzeugwerke during WW I (Pfalz D-III, D-IIIa, D-XII etc.)
During WW II the Flugwerke Pfalz where part of the nation wide Air Industry Repair System. Today it is part of Hutchinson Aerospace!
Bests,

Re: What means FRW Saarpfalz?
My response was only to translate "Front Reparatur Werft".

But the abbreviation of "Flugwerke Pfalz" was PFW, wasn't it?

Regards

Re: What means FRW Saarpfalz?
Well, I found the place and its history yesterday. Here is:


https://www.pfw.aero/en/historie#146...-9b8b30b7-c166


So a confusion about the abreviation still is unsolved? FRW or not...



I enclose here a small excerpt from the Fw 58 losses listing for reference:


1942-10-27 FW 58C-2 3634 FRW Saarpfalz Fl.Pl. Speyer
1944-04-10 FW 58 3637 FFS B 15 Fl.Pl. Bourges
Bombenwurf. Bruch 100 %.
1943-12-03 FW 58 3639 Verbindungstaffel 58 Fl.Pl. Larissa
In Bombentrichter gerollt. Bruch 10 %.
1942-05-13 FW 58 3640 FFS A/B 115 Wels
Motorstörung. Bruch 80 %.
1942-08-12 FW 58C-2 3640 FRW Saarpfalz Fl.Pl. Speyer
1944-08-25 FW 58C-2 3640 FFS A 72 Fl.Pl. Schwerin
Bombenwurf. Bruch 100 %.
1944- FW 58C-2 3642 LKS 7 Fl.Pl. Tulln
1942-11-24 FW 58C-2 3643 FRW Saarpfalz Fl.Pl. Speyer
1944-04-10 FW 58 3643 FFS B 15 Fl.Pl. Bourges

Is it not possible that this factory was serving as a front repair facility?
