Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Is this a Fw 190 F WNr 428372?
Anyone who knows where?

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Kecay's "Captured Butcherbirds" has another photo (most likely) of this Fw 190 on page 100, while it was still rather intact. There are some small differences, hence the 'most likely', but Kecay indicate as W.Nr. 586372 (not readable in the photo they show), which is close enough to think it could be one and the same aircraft. Tactical code was Black 8. Location indicated by Kecay is Mannheim-Sandhofen.

Cheers,
Roger

My pleasure.



Roger, it doesn't really look like it's 586372. Looks more like 426372 or 428372. I have asked the seller. Wait and see.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
I agree, I think the Kecay book got it wrong from their photo that was not fully in focus, but I believe they are the same aircraft.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Arado-built Fw 190 F-9 (WNr. 428372), marked 8+ - black from an unknown II./SG unit, and found abandoned at Fl.Horst Mannheim-Sandhofen (coordinates 49.561111 8.463889).
Interestingly, when first captured is sported a natural metal cowling. Apparently, it has received a darkly-painted replacement.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
