Not sure on the fate of this aircraft. It's posible that it was turn over at the EOW.
This is F 5125 that indicates a high compression engine. We had discussed this this in few years ago in a thread by Dave Watts. Its posible that The F planes took a different type of petrol for this engine. Lloyd...

One biographer of Goering {Mosely} "The Reichmarshal" had a version of this picture from Goering stepson in his book.....was this Goering all white Fokker DV II?
By the way..in regard to Geschwader stock? did it survive? |

This question was up for debate some time ago, nobody seems to know what happened to it.

The stock would certainly be the ultimate relic if found. Probably disappeared like the contents of the Schweidnitz 'museum'.

Geschwaderstock
The simple answer is that the blackthorn walking stick disappeared during WWII. Goering had mementoes of MvR including a locket with a lock of hair. While Goering was in prison, an American doctor who knew him acquired some of his "treasures" including the MvR locket. There are many possibilities....Goering may have given it away. It may have been found in his home and souvenired by someone. Another possibility, it may have been on the train of his treasures evacuated near the end of the war and was lost there as those items were hauled away by locals. Very few people would have recognized the stick as anything of value.
