Summary
| Description | A captured German Henschel Hs 129B (Wk.Nr. 0385) at Freeman Army Airfield, Indiana, in 1946. It was allotted for storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona (USA) but had to be force-landed at Gallatin, Tennessee, on 24 July 1946 while being ferried to Davis-Monthan. The aircraft ran out of fuel due to suspected tank leakage and was slightly damaged during the subsequent forced landing. It was taken to No. 803 Special Depot (Orchard Place) on 5 August 1946. When the storage depot was required for other purposed during the Korean War, FE-4600 was put up for disposal as scrap. Only the nose section was saved from a scrap yard. |
