German FW- 190 (Replica and Original Questions)

Posted by Paul McMillan on Tue Dec 04, 2001 05:45:13 AM

Harm-Jan Strating gave the following destinations for the 12 new-built 190's are as follows:

WNr.990001 D-FWWC Flug Werk demonstration machine
WNr.990002 D-FWCK German client
WNr.990003-990008 Destined for client in the USA
WNr.990009 Destined for an Australian client
WNr.990010 Destined for a client in the USA
WNr.990011 Destined for the TAM Museum, Brasil
WNr.990012 Still available

One extra airframe was constructed, WNr. 990000. This aircraft was built as a non-flying exhibit for the museum at Laatzen-Hannover in Germany.

But the reason for my query, is that I did a search on a German registrations Database and came up with this list:


Reg'n Aircraft Type Con-No R-Date Current Fate History
D-FWWC Colling Focke-Wulf FW.190A-8 990001 ... - D-FWWC
D-FWCK Flug Werke FW.190A-8/N 990002 ... - D-FWCK

D-FWUB Focke-Wulf FW.190 1876

My first question is what is D-FWUB Focke-Wulf FW.190 1876 ?? I cannot find a C/N of this number listed om Mikaels site. Also it does not appear to be a replica/scale version..

Secondly, Aeroplane Monthly quotes the following in its registration section this month

"under construction in Germany... Flug Werk Focke-Wulf FW 190A-4 replica at Trossingen which will be powered by a DC-3 engine"

Unfortulately the article does not give a German registration ID.. I also wonder in the FW-190A-4 is a misprint for FW-190A-8??

Also I thought these babies were flying with Russian engines! and is Trossingen near Gammeldorf where Flug Werk are based??
