| Description |
There has been some doubt about the aircrafts true identity, but it has now generally been accepted that it is 112372, which was built in March 1945 and operated by JG7. Surrendered at Fassberg at the end of the war, it was ferried to Farnborough in June 1945. It was then allocated British military serial ‘VK893’. Several test flights were carried out between June and November 1945, after which it went on display at the RAF Cranwell station museum. It stayed there until 1960, when it moved to RAF Gaydon. During this time it was stripped and repainted, this being carried out supervised by Russ Snadden, who later rebuilt Bf109 ‘Black 6’ to fly. In 1972 it went in to store at RAF Finningley, moving to the Cosford museum in 1976 and then St Athan in 1985. In 1989 it returned to Cosford and remained on display there until 2003 when it went on permanent display in the Milestones of Flight Hall. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK. 28th May 2016 |
