You can but ask. Here's the website for Gosshawk. If you send an Email you will probably get a reply from Lindsey, the bosses daughter. They have done and are doing a few 190's so you should get some info or photos from them. I hope you do anyway. Best of luck

They look like standard MkVII goggles. Should be spares around. You could try asking this company if they have spare parts. https://www.historicflyingclothing.com/en-GB/raf-commonwealth-ww2/raf-mk-vii-flying-goggles/prod_19876

I wouldn't follow any Flugwerk blueprint. They are not to the original drawings. I worked at Gosshawk when doing the Fw190, Yellow 10. We bought parts for it, u/c doors amongst others, they were nowhere near the right shape or size, they had no internal spider reinforcing spreader etc. Drawings...

I know one used to be at Casa Grande, AZ. Not sure if it's still there though

With those tinnerman nuts and X head screws in the diamond plate I don't think it's WWII or even German. Not sure what it could be, unless it's from the horizontal tailplane

I hadn't seen that before. I worked on Galloping Ghost when I worked in AZ. I made the canopy eject system on it. Unfortunately when you pull 17G you haven't got a hope in getting out.

I will take a look. Hadn't thought of AAM

Tried that with no replies! I know it is a long shot. Thanks

No idea. I'm only going from the name on the photo. I'm pretty sure I was the photos by a 100th BG Vet as I had quite a few Vet friends in the past

Not sure if this is the right place for this? Anyway, I was given these photos many years ago and wondered if anyone knew who these guys were? May be 100th BG after training. Cliff is in both photos

Sorry, just had to put this up as D-13 was mentioned and I helped with this one ;0)

This is the D-13 Yellow 10 engine. I think this was the 213E

Hi Matt, All I can find is that it was a 582 Sqn plane, the Sqn code was on the Lanc was 60-M. Listing only as Abandoned in the air 23/24th Feb 45. So I imagine the crew bailed out. No crash site is recorded as far as I can see. Not much help I'm afraid.

Could be any 190 , they used 20mm cannon in the wings even on the D-13. These are original ammo boxes and 4 restores boxes Here is the 30mm ammo box that served the cannon through the spinner on the 190 D-13
