…during WW2, many types of aircraft of the Royal Air Force were captured and tested by the Luftwaffe. The following link shows a collection of photos, some well known and others rare, these aircraft, bearing German markings:

Hi Marcelo.

Some of these are real surprises and will provide healthy conversation among my friends. Thanks for the post.

Karl.

Nice pics - including some of planes I've never seen in German markings before. However, one tiny nitpick, the Gloster Gladiator, fifth from the top, is not German but Latvian. The roundel of the prewar Latvian air force was a red swastika on a white circle. But later, captured Gladiators did see service with the Luftwaffe:

Some really interesting subjects there. Awesome and thanks again.

Interesting subjects, I have produced paint masks for 2 captured Spitfires and a captured P-51

Marco,

Thanks! I knew of all except the "Tiffy", Dragon Rapide, and Gladiators.

Fascinating - but how did the Luftwaffe come by a DeHavilland Mosquito ?.
Can some body enlighten me now I`ve had my curiosity peaked ?!.
