Back to the original topic of the post. Many ea were captured during the war. One area often overlooked in post war studies is the North African theatre. Rapid changes of the forward lines and quick deployment of aircraft lead to many captured aircraft on both sides. The Desert Airforce had its own unit for evaluating ea.
On November 19 1942 ground units of 260 sqd RAF captured 12 109s, 4 completely servicable , at Martuba. Canadian ace Stocky Edwards was able to test fly/ evaluate one on four occassions during late Feb 43. I'll try to post a picture of it.
