MP499 – Focke-Wulf Fw190A-3 – W.Nr.313 – single chevron of III./JG2 – struck off charge September 1943
PE822 – Focke-Wulf Fw190A-4/U8 – W.Nr.7155 – H+ of II./SKG10 – crashed October 1944
PM679 – Focke-Wulf Fw190A-4/U8 – W.Nr.5843 – “Red 9” of I./SKG10 – used for spares July 1944
PN999 – Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5/U8 – W.Nr.2596 – “White 6” of I./SKG10 – despatched to unknown destination July 1946

It’s not MP499 as it had the earlier style of fin top without the antenna, I don’t think it’s PE882 as it had a distinctive camo pattern on the fin and rear canopy.

I think it is PM679 – it had similar camo scheme, noticably over the cowling and the upward sweep of the demarcation on the rudder (Downwards on PN999) – also the unpainted/not over painted strip (LUftwaffe paint?) on the upper fin – that was absent on PN999.

PM679 landed in error at RAF Manston on 20th May 1943. It was first at RAE Farnborough from 22/5/43 until 17/7/43 (First flew at RAE on 2/7/43). It then went to the AFDU at Wittering until it was damaged beyond repair on25/6/44. Delivered to 1426 Flight on 11/7/44 for spares use

Could it have been this one? Tangmere, Summer1943? But I hadn’t recalled RAF markings. Thought someone had lost his way!!

I think it is – PM679 was the only one of the three A-4/5s to have a light spinner.

That’s PN999 (obviously!!!) – note that it has a two-tone cowl ring, where as the one at Tangmere has a light ring all the way round. Also, the Tangmere one has a light spinner.

BTW, the HIllmans are different – note the position of the F11 in relation to the speed/RAF Serial no.

There were a couple of early Fw190s on strength at that time – give me a day or so and I’ll might id which it is

I can see where Moggy is coming from, the major benefit from having two flyers would be to have them flying together.

Not that I am opposed! Such a pity that hanger fell on the Strathallan/Charles Church aircraft…..

Talking to Engineers, it seems what stops ‘flying forever’ is not a lack of fuel, but a lack of engine oil – you can in-flight refuel, but not top up your oil!!

Comet??

Yep, G-ANLO as mentioned earlier in this thread

http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36444&page=19

and your photo more or less confirms to me (at least!) that G-ANLO WAS the fuselage used in the AEW mock up also shown in the thread! (The remains of the Nimrod fairing can be clearly seen!)

Thanks for that!!

There was also a fuselage of KL831 (type not noted) near the control tower. – OK, I had to look this one up, but KL831 was a Fortress III, don’t know what happened to it.

Does the article say anything about the career of G-ABWW after its forced landing at Pulborough in 1941, particularly concerning its time with the Tonbridge ATC squadron, and what became of it thereafter?

Not much, just that it was used by 129 ATC Squadron at Tunbridge Wells (Not Tonbridge) and that it’s fate is unknown.

If you’re right then, by a process of elimination, it must have been G-ABWW.

Found the article, it is ABWW that is listed as being used by 247.
