Exclamation Captured Intact Aircraft - Focke-Wulf 190A

I have a list of dates, sub types and werk numbers, pilots fate, where they landed and RAF serials of all the and I wonder if there were more in 1943 or even 1944 before the Allies advanced into Germany after D-Day?

23rd June 1942 - Fw 190A-4, Werk Nr 313, Oblt Armin Faber POW of 11/ JG 2- landed at RAF Pembrey - RAF allocated Serial MP499

17th April - Fw 190A-4, Werk Nr 47155, Feldwebel Otto Bechtold POW of 7/SKG 10 - landed 1.10 AM at RAF West Malling - RAF allocated Serial PE882

17th April - Fw 190A-4, Werk Nr 47152, (Feldwebel ?) Otto Schulz Injured POW of 7/SKG 10 crash landed 1.15 AM at East Malling - No RAF allocated Serial as engine and wings torn off in crash landing - (NOTE, Schulz was wingman to Bechtold but his aircaft was wrecked so should be excluded)

But what was the circumstances for PN999, seen in a IWM photo of 'Aircraft of No. 1426 (Enemy Aircraft Circus) Flight at RAF Collyweston in Northants. Focke Wulf Fw 190A-3, PN999, undergoes an engine service, while airmen re-paint the wings of a captured Junkers Ju 88S-1, given the serial TS472.

This landed in error at Manston on 20 May 1943.
Plenty of details online, including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._1426_Flight_RAF

Your best best is War Prizes by the late Phil Butler. Add to this the two from I./SKG 10 which landed at Manston
