| 120015 | A-2 | 4./JG1 “Weisse 21” in Ludwigslust 4-1945. Captured by British troops at Leck 15-5-1945. Transferred to the French government in 2-1946. It was decided to use it for flight testing and it got code “FAF 3”. It was painted in a single colour of grey/beige and “nr. 2” was applied. Testing started with first flight in 04-1947 at Orléans-Bricy and after a few flights the test program continued at Mont de Marsan (CEAM). It was flown for most of the tests totaling nearly 14 hours on a total amount of 18 hours of flight tests. It continued until 23-7-1948 when test aircraft “FAF 1” fatally crashed. The testprogram was terminated and this aircraft 120093 became instructional airframe at the Rochefort-Sur- Mer Air Force mechanics school. It was then repainted “bordeaux-red” and set to the Musée de l’Air at de l’Espace near Paris in 8-1952. Before 1975 it became green when it arrived at Le Bourget (Hall B). During restoration the tail from 120223 was found on the aircraft and layout was changed to “120223” and later also “Gelbe 1” was applied. The hall was closed around 2000 and the aircraft was restored. Fuselage id 120015 was identified and so the aircraft got back serial 120015, lateron added with “Gelbe-21”. Mid 2010 the aircraft was transferred to the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace near Paris. In 2014 fully restored with functioning undercarriage still preserved as III./JG7 “Gelbe 21” as today. |
