can you send me a private by personal email ? check out my profile it should be listed there.
your relative although Kommandeur would likely have flown a number 1 early in the war and with a totally different unit. because there was the belief that noted aces and leaders of gruppen and stafflen were singled out by the low numbers of their flown A/C most assuredly York did not fly a 1 but a higher number, and there may have been cause to believe that he never flew that number at all and never had his own personal SturmFw.
In fact when he went MIA he was flying Fw 190A-8/R8 werke nummer 682310 and so marked on the fuselage : Black < 5.
the stab flight having possibly 3-4 heavy Fw 190's in their line up.
send me a private as I said, will be gone for 5 days on business but will try and check my personal mails.

thought I would throw in an older image this A-8/R8 of Bake in IV.Sturm/Jg 3 at the time of the hideous Ardenne aerial battles
Hubert-York Weydenhammer had a long career with the Luftwaffe but until October 1944 he flew various bombers, serving with various units within LG 1. Like many he was converted to fighters in an act of desperation by the Luftwaffe, becoming Kommandeur of IV./JG 3 on 5th December '44. He claimed six victories between 2nd November '44 and his death on 25th December of the same year, including two four engine bombers.
I can't help with markings for his aircraft (if he had one) or the aircraft in which he went down (south east of Liege/Luttich towards St Vith).
Cheers
Steve
