Info needed on Fw190 wreck located at Nordholz

[harrison987]

Well...the vet took a lot of photos of aircraft at this field...which I will try to get. Maybe the He219 is there?

If I can get more info, I'll post it ASAP.

Hello Mike,

That’s an interesting photo you posted. Without trying to be dogmatic, I would like to make a few points.

First, note the slight difference in the gray values of the aircraft numerals (51?) and the all-black Balkenkreuz and Hakenkreuz. To me this suggests the possibility that the plane numbers are red, blue, or gray, and not black.

Second, the sparseness of camouflage visible on the fuselage spine and fin, as well as the aircraft’s combination of all-black Hakenkreuze and black outlined Hakenkreuze, suggest that this may be an Arado/Warnemünde-built Fw190.

All the best, Marcel

HI Marcel...

I acquired the remaining photos from the vet...and there are at least 3 He219 wrecks, as well as 2 other Fw190 and what a Ju88 G6.

I will have them mid-week or so. When they arrive, I will see if there are any further inscriptions. I can definitely make out the following info & werk numbers:

He219 +VL
He219 +DL W. Nr. 211121
Ju88 G6 W. Nr.620547 (Stab NJG2 or 1/NJG4)

Hello Mike,

Wonderful news! The 211121 photo puzzles me, because according to my info, this He219A-0 was found at Münster-Handorf A/F but I will wait for the pictures first to jump to any conclusions.

If you want to send these off board, please contact me at marcelhogenhuis(at)gmail.com

Many thanks for your kind support!

Marcel

Hello Mike,
Hello Mr. Hogenhuis,

i am also very interested in the He 219. Is there any chance to share the photos of the He 219's with us?

Chris...

I am currently overseas and have limited acess to email.

I really do not want to post the photos online, for the moment...
