I.SKG 10 Loss on 14.07.43

The 100 per. loss of Fw 190A-4 [sic] 2840 by I./SKG 10 is recorded in LwGQM 7050/43, 09.09.43, Entry 5. The loss is attributed to a BAW on Fl.Pl. Villa-
coublay, France, on 14.07.43.

Again, it seems that there is at least one error here, because no known Fw 190A-4 carried a Werknummer 2840. Even A-5 Werknummern in the 2xxx series do not run this high.

Would some kind reader be able to shine the light of truth on this loss record?

What about (15)5840?
For some unexplicable reason clerks not rarely tend to mistake a "2" for a "5" and vice versa.

Thank you Roland F and Chris for considering my inquiry. I fear that both of you are right. Losses in this BAW of 14.07.43 on Villacoublay seem to pose
a number of problems with wrong information or conflicting sources. . . .

Thank you again for responding.

Hello Jim,

I tend to the assumption, that the c/n 2840 is a faulty double report for the
5840 bird. The c/n 5840 is also confirmed by Air 40/1887 as being on repair at FRW Villacoublay from 05.07.1943. In the Air file is no mentioned of 2840, which loss was reported nearly 2 months later.

Regards

Dirk
