A little more on AM225.
It was initially collected from the Americans at Oberpfaffenhofen and flown first to Neubiberg and then on to Reims, arriving on 7th September 1945. The pilot who ferried it, Flt.Lt. Taylor declared it unserviceable on landing at Reims. It was repaired at Reims and test flown there on 9th and 12th December.
On 13th December it was transferred to Merville, flown by Hptm.Miersch, selected by (unsurprisingly) Eric Brown, who had 'sprung' Miersch from a PoW camp in Norway. Miersch and Brown flew together on many ferrying trips. Brown would later write of this flight:
"While landing at Merville he found that he had hydraulic trouble and could not lower the nose wheel. He cooly feathered the front propeller, and by pressing the starter button, eventually got the airscrew moved around so that there was the maximum ground clearance between the two lower prop tips, and carried out a remarkable landing with little or no damage."
Despite the slight damage the aircraft was not repaired and was scrapped at Merville.
