Re: Fw 190 A-8 W.Nr. 173078 --> Anything known?
OK, I checked my source documents and found several Fw 190s that were produced in the same batch as 173078.
Source: October 1944 Crashed Enemy Aircraft Report No. 225 10 October 1944: - Rheims/Champagne: 173060 fuselage only - Rheims/Champagne: 173065 - stripped - Prosnes/Le Patron: 173062 - burnt out Source: October 1944 Crashed Enemy Aircraft Report No. 227 25 October 1944: - West of Pontoise: W.Nr. 173053 7+ Shot down by A.A. and destroyed Source: AI2(G) Serial 260: - Rheims Railroad Yard: 173056 Found abandoned and stripped Any others from the 1730xx batch? And a photo taken at Rheims showing Fw 190 1730xx: |

And thanks to that pointer from Charles, I was able to find the attached image. Unfortunately these lists of aircraft Werk Nummern featuring in signals traffic do not tell you the context in which they arose.
The full reference is CX/MSS/R281(A),13. |
