The Reggiane 2002 with Geschwader Bongart
Around 30 Re 2002s were operated by Geschwader Bongart, but it was a difficult aircraft to keep serviceable. By 31 May 1944, Geschwader Bongart had 18 Re 2002s on strength, and a month later there were 35 in total, with 22 serviceable. The Germans had seized Regia Aeronautica Re 2002s, including ten from 50º Stormo, and these were amongst the aircraft operated by Geschwader Bongart. Others came from Italian factories (Note: Beale deZeng, 'Geschwader Bongart', p.17; Neulen, The Rich Booty, pp.47-48; Roba, 'Sonderkommando Bongart', p.19).
A surviving Re 2002 of Geschwader Bongart is on display at the Musée de la Résistance in Limoges (140 km W. of Clermont Ferrand) (Note: Neulen, The Rich Booty, p.52).

(Note regarding Re 2002 DN + VS: I'm not sure if this is BN + YB – a photo of a Re 2002 with DN + is belly-landed, while a photo of 'Y + ' exists with the aircraft in good condition
