Rare dual-control Fw-190 trainer on display in the Bomber Hall at RAF Museum Hendon. It was constructed as a ground-attack F-8, then converted to an S-8. It wears the coat of arms of Nürnberg as the emblem of I./JG 54 "Grünherz". This unit was re-formed in 1939 at nearby Herzogenaurach from two Staffeln of I./JG 70. The emblem was adopted in 1941 on the Eastern Front and may have been a morale booster due to the city's connection with large NSDAP Nuremberg Rallies. It was discarded in spring 1943.
