You can still find this airplane !
Here is the  history:
It was produced 1943 as an A7 with the factory serial number 640069
(Gelbe10),
after damage repaired and converted to the F8 with the factory serial number
931884 (Weisse7).
Following it was used by the 1. SG2 in Hungary , and handed over after end
of war to the allied forces in
Juli 1945 in  Munich.
In Cherbourg/France it was shipped on the aircraft carrier "HMS Reaper" and
finally transported together
with other airplanes over Chicago to Newark and then to Freeman Field,
Indiana.
Since  the end of war no more technical tests were  necessary, so it was
stored and 1949 handed over to the
Smithsonian Institute , where it remained  in Park Ridge, Illinois.
Later it arrived at Suitland, Maryland, sometime during the 1950s and was
placed  in an outdoor storage
for 30 years.
From 1980 to 1983 it was restored , and now it  is located  in the National
Air and Space Museum Silver Hill, Washington DC.
