History

On October 15, 1944, a Hawker Tempest Mk. V , EJ709, flown by F/O George Taylor Kinnel of the RNZAF, was flying an armed reconnaissance mission over Münster when he was hit by flak and crash landed an Nieukerk. He survived the landing and was taken as a POW.

The aircraft was salvaged by 2./Versuchsverband O.K.L., and moved to Finnow. There, it was repaired with parts from another Tempest that had been shot down near Hespe in December 1944. The repairs were finished on January 4, 1945. It was then brought to Rechlin for testing.
