This one just looked interesting. Had one picture from a profile site until Wurger supplied me with the wartime photo, from the internet.
*Okay, I know. I should Read Everything!!!!! I will have to extend the nose 6 bloody inches!
Maybe I will, maybe I won't!
The caption; Another FW-190 captured in Italy was a plane that was painted by 325 FS. During the was, the unit captured a few Butcherbirds, and the first of these was FW-190 A5 W.Nr unknown. It was flown by 1st Lt. Jack Shafton of 317 FS from Lesinia airbase near Foggia. The plane was immediately grounded by Col. Chester L. Sluder (he was the commander of the unit between 1 April 1944and 11 September 1944) due to worn out tires. After Sluder's departure from command, several pilots tried to start the loot, but during taxiing the canopy fell off and the plane was eventually abandoned.
