I think I can just make out the icecreamcopter in the bottom right of the snowdrift 😀

Thanks for that Peter, very interesting stuff! Incidentally there is an image of PM679 taken at Kenley in September 1943 on page 18 of “War Prizes” by Phil Butler…

Nice photo that DCK, thanks for postin g it 🙂

I’m not at home at the moment (sat in a motorway services on the M1 using my laptop) so don’t have my books to hand. However, these are brief details from a thread on the LEMB concerning Luftwaffe aircraft allocated to the Royal Aircraft Establishment. Fw190’s listed are:

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 appears that none survived much past 1946…
