Oblt. Arnim Faber’s Fw190A-3 was indeed the first intact Fw190 to fall into British hands at RAF Penbury on 23rd June 1942. This example later became MP499. The West Malling Fw190 landed in error on 17th April 1943 and belonged to Feldwebel.Otto Bechtold of II./SKG10. This example received the RAF serial PE822…

Would you have anything listed to help to pinpoint the above details? (obviously in your own time)

Sorry Brad… I don’t have any new suggestions since your previous thread here

Just a wild guess… but if 0533 was the WNr, it *could* have belonged to:
- Fw190A-6 – WNr.550533 – 10./JG2 – 100% loss, SE Oud/Roosendaal, Holland on 22-Feb-44 during a combat mission. Shot down during combat with enemy bombers. Flg.Karl Burk MIA [sources: Ring, JG2 loss list, p.21; Charles]
Perhaps the 26th August 1976 was the date it was recovered from a crash site?

But was one used by Goering?

Not that I’m aware Jim… I think, when the seller says “Goering’s Gladiator” he actually just means “Luftwaffe Gladiator”

Its a Gladiator my dear Jim… 🙂

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corgi-Captured-Gloster-Gladiator-Mk-I-Luftwaffe-Goerings-Gladiator-AA36208-/190921974486?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item2c73d622d6

Yes, the Luftwaffe did use around 13 ex-Latvian Gladiators, with some being used by Ergänzungsgruppe (S) 1 at Langendiebach near Hanau. Photos survive of Gladiator Mk I, WNr.45829 coded NJ+BO… but as for its association with Goring, well, that’s another thing… unless the title merely means something along the lines of the “Luftwaffe’s Gladiator”

From memory, KG53 lost a He 111 at Bawtry that night or thereabouts?

I have no record of any German losses in Nottinghamshire for that timeframe, so, my questions are – Where did this aircraft come down, if indeed it did crash? What type of aircraft was it, and what was its unit?

Could be this loss Don:
- Ju88A-5 – WNr.2232 – BN+UT – coded V4+CP of 6./KG1 – 100% loss, near Nottingham, England on 09-May-41. Mission to Nottingham. Shot down by an enemy Blenheim of 248 Sq. (Sgt. Cripps). Uffz.Wilhelm Reisch MIA with crew [sources: Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #3)-Vol.4 & “1941 The Turning Point (part 1)” by John Foreman, p.187 txt]
