English: A German Heinkel He 177A-5 (s/n 550062, RAF serial TS439) being tested by the Royal Air Force in September 1944 (flown by Eric Brown). The He 177 (coded F8+AP) was captured by the French Resistance at the end of August 1944 at the maintenance factories of Toulouse-Blagnac. It was in flight condition. French national markingss were then applied to it, but it was to be delivered to the Allies, in this case to the RAE (Royal Aircraft Establishment) of Farnborough. In anticipation of this flight and to avoid any unfortunate and fatal confusion, reconnaissance bands inspired by the invasion bands of D-Day were painted on the plane and it was flown from Toulouse to Farnborough in a flight lasting 2 h 45 min on 10 September 1944.
