This Thunderflash was TOC with the USAF MDAP as 53-7693 around 1953. Upon arrival with the West German AF it was given the serial 'BD-315', which sometime later was changed to 'EA-315'. After decomissioning, fake 'EA-105' markings were applied but these appear to have been removed now that it is at the private collection at Zehdenick. The collection are happy to allow visitors but please always have the courtesy to ask at reception for permission to enter the site. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
