Fw 190 goes on display at Cosford

摘要

The RAF Museum Cosford has placed Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 313 on display following a period of maintenance at the attraction's Michael Beetham Conservation Centre. The fighter - once part of a 'Mister twin-aircraft drone combination with a Junkers Ju 88 - spent several years on display at Cranwell, Lincs, before a short period in storage at Biggin Hill. In 1986 it went on loan to IWM Duxford where it was given corrosion treatment and painted in an authentic day fighter scheme. Four years later, the Focke-Wulf was moved to IWM Lambeth and put on display, suspended from the ceiling. It remained here until December 2012 when it was moved to Cosford.
