    Does anyone know the werknummer and pilot of this aircraft.. It looks like it was ‘Black 6’ and the newspapers quote it as a FW190 A2 and the newpaper article mentions Staffel 12.. However, what I do think is that it is a IV./JG 5 machine.

    But maybe Staffel 11

    From: http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jg5.htm

    ” 10./JG5 at Trondheim-Lade (6.42 – 2.44); 11./JG5 at Alta (26.6.42 – 6.7.52), Elvenes (6.7.42 – 27.7.42), Bodö (27.7.42 – 9.42) and Trondheim-Lade (9.42 – 2.44); 12./JG5 at Aalborg (26.6.42 – 8.42), Oerlandet (8.42 – 12.42) and Bodö (12.42 – ?); In 6.43 11./JG5 was based at Stavanger and 11./JG5 at Herdla. In 10.43 10./JG5 moved to Gossen and 11./JG5 to Herdla”

    pS> I do not believe the story about the attempted recovery in 1970’s…. As we have an eye witness in 1986! and the photo on the website looks more recent than 1970!

    However, it MAY have been the victim of an attempted recovery since 1986!

    Also see

    Sounds very much like the P-40 which is pictured in ‘Epics of Aviation Archaeology’

    Well done that man!.. Epics of Aviation Archaelogy Page 108. Same picture that Mark12 posted. Bruce Adams wrote the chapter on war-wrecks of the South-West Pacific

    Says it is a P-40 Kittyhawk

    Mark12… PS. Check your email :rolleyes:
