FW190A-8/R2 Yellow 1 6./JG300

[von hahn]

Hello.

I'm wondering if anyone can please give me your opinion on whether Ewald Preis' FW190A-8/R2 "Gloria" from 6./JG300 around September-November 1944 had the Erhohte Notleistung engine boost fitted (which would be indicated by the small yellow circle I've pointed to in the attached photo of another FW190).

I really can't tell from the poor quality photo of Preis' machine though I think I can just just make out a small yellow circle where it should be but I would be very grateful for anybody's input on whether this machine had it or not.

Thanks!

Have had a quick look at a few images of 681XXX - 682XXX series aircraft which certainly have the yellow circle, but that does not mean all had it....

can't tell in my pic of Pries' aircraft if it's there...
