Wow. Robust image and clearly see the hydraulic landing gear retraction cylinder as opposed to conventional FW electric retraction arm.

Oh that's an odd one. What is the story of this one? A test aircraft?

From the Focke-Wulf Ta152 by Hitchcock: "The Fw190 V21, W. Nr. 0043, TI+IH, was similar to the V19 and V20, but it was considered the definitive engine development prototype. It was not only pressurized, and constructed of Dural, but at some stage was to have been equipped with armament comprised of two cowl-mounted MG 131, two MG 151s in the wing roots plus an engine-mounted MG 151 cannon. Provision for optional outer wing cannon (MG 151) was also planned. This prototype, completed in the autumn of 1943 and following cabin pressurization tests in November, was flight-cleared a few months later and flying for the first time on 13 March, 1944. It was powered by a Jumo 213 CV and fitted with the novel exhaust flame suppression system and was also intended to flight-test new advanced engines including the Jumo 222.
