Philippe, Fw 190 D? Perhaps you mean this one:

Looks like Fw 190 D-11, "White Chevron 57", WNr 220011 found at Bad Wörishofen in May 1945.

Gladiator, Your right. I just corrected the link in the original message.

Hi Guys!

I got shivers down my spine when I suddenly noticed that this Dora has a load of R4M rockets under the wing!!!

I’m not entirely sure that it actually shows Fw 190 D-11, "White Chevron 57", W.Nr. 220011 found at Bad Wörishofen in May 1945, as that bird was photographed on open ground and on its belly. But this photo can of course have been taken before that.

Or my theory, could this maybe be a second photo of the well known D-9 with R4M’s photographed in a south German forest?

Knew I've seen this one befor!

In the monograph Polish Wings No. 6 by Wojtek Matusiak, page 48.

According to Matusiak, this is Spitfire Mk. I K979, which became the Mk. II prototype with a Merlin XII and then converted to PR. Crashed over the Ruhr on 17 August 1940 and the pilot, F/Sgt. J. D. T. Taylor-Gill becoming a POW.

The aircraft was later displayed in Vienna then Warsaw.

Now these D520s are most interesting. They appear to be Vichy aircraft handed over to the Regia Aeronautica. Full Vichy markings, but with the white RA fuselage and wing bands. The badge is unfamiliar, perhaps Mr. D'Amico can add information.

Thanks Ed for finding all these great pictures.

I think you're correct. But IIRC there are 2 pics of R4M Fw 190: the one on the Lister airport (JG 26) (Rodeike book) and the one in the woods (David E. Brow booklet). This would make 3.... Have to check in those books. Am at work now...
