I have not been on-line for years but noticed on page 6 of the December edition a small feature on the FW 190 that is now on display at RAF Cosford . I was getting quite excited that it is said to be No. 313 . Sadly it is not , No 313 was flown by Armin Faber , the pilot that famously landed one of the latest variants at RAF Pembrey in June 1942 and was scrapped after a lengthy evaluation. The FW 190 at Cosford is apparently 733682 recovered from Denmark . It is still worth seeing though and if you go soon you can take in the annual MBCC open days this month.
