I'm also curious about the norwegian Fw 190's
because I got the impression when I was over there last weekend that the trade was only for three airframes, and one of them going back to Norway.
So how come I have 5 ex-norwegian frames (or at least W.Nrs) listed on my site? May be the other two are "less than substantial remains"? Or just two W.Nrs taken from some "spare" remains that were included in the batch to yield pattern or a few parts.
I heard the same comments as you Dave regarding the restoration on the returned example.
