Can anyone add anything to these lost birds ?... sent to me 'raw'from Germany.

a.) FW 200 C -4/U3, S/N 0175. This aircraft had a emergency Landing in
Spain. Because the Crew had requested asylum in Spain, the aircraft never
returned to the War. Due the end of the War, the aircraft was used as
freighter from the Spanish Airforce until the 60?ties to my knowledge. The
Spanish Call Sign was T.4-2. I know also, that the Spanish had tried in
purchasing due the 60?ties Parts for this aircraft and finally modified the
Condor with P&W Engines. Due my knowledge was this aircraft never listed as
crashed,sold,or scrapped. - Where is it??

b.) FW 200 C-4, Call Sign F8+MS, was flown short after the war from Eastern
Germany to Torslanda/Goeteborg with Soldier's and its families on board. The
Swedish Airforce used this aircraft as Freighter. - Here the same. The
aircraft where never cancelled from the swedish register and never registered as
sold/crashed or so.- Where is it??

c.) FW 200 A, Call Sign D-ACON, this aircraft where crashed due its round
the world trip coming from Japan to Philippines and made a very soft
Water landing near Malina. Due my information, the aircraft is currently
around 300 Meters on the ground and in a very good condition, because it is
covered by light sand.
