Does anyone know of any photos of this aircraft either as SE-AOU or in RAF hands?

There is an article on Werke Nr. 1006, complete with photos and profiles, in Volume 10 of the Norwegian magazine “Flyhistorie”. Copies are available from the National Norwegian Aviation Museum, e-mail [email]butikk@luftfart.museum.no[/email].

Werke Nr. 1006 was never in RAF hands though. It served with Luftwaffe as DH+ZF, it was forced down in Sweden in 1943 where it was interned. It was sold to SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) and registered SE-AOU, which took it to Norway right after the war and lent it to the Royal Norwegian Air Force and it was painted with RNoAF roundels. In 1946 it was sold to the Swedish company AB Ahrenbergsflyg. It got new registration SW-AWY, but had first incorrectly the code SE-ADU applied. The aircraft crashed in 1947 and the wreck was re-discovered in 2006.
