Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Thanks Andy (and Snautzer for the additional photo)
Yes it helps a lot. So the WNr was correctly quoted after all. I wonder why Matti differs? After all he is rarely wrong.....  Cheers Stig

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
This Fw 190A looks to me like CT+LQ. It appears to have an interesting camouflage scheme on wings.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
It's a Fw 190 A-7 most likely found at Bayreuth-Bindlach. Location is not 100% confirmed though, neither is (to me) if it's CT+LO or CT+LQ. Looks more like LQ though. Werknummer, accordingly, either 430706 or 430708.
Guns were removed, landing gear hydraulics defect, airframe was subjected to heavy repainting, no upper-wing crosses applied. Maintenance inscription underneath the cockpit ("Fw 190 A / WNr. 43070? / some three-letter/number code) Looks like this plane has been decommisioned for a while prior to being captured or was in the process of overhaul.
