'Aircraft of No 1426 (Enemy Aircraft) Flight at Collyweston, Northamptonshire, 22 February 1945. Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5/U8, PN999, undergoes an engine service while airmen repaint the wings of Junkers Ju 88S-1, TS472.' A pilot of I/SKG 10 mistakenly landed this Fw 190 at Manston during a nocturnal fighter-bomber raid against London on 20 June 1943. No 1426 Flight, nicknamed 'Rafwaffe', was officially based at Collyweston but this satellite airfield was joined to Wittering in 1941.
