Last edited by viscount 27th July 2012 at 15:53. The majority of the Sabre 6s were operated with the identity codes BB+ WS-10, JA+ JG71 (Jagdgeschwader 71 at Ahlhorn), JB+ JG72 (at Leck), JC+ JG73 (at Oldenburg), with a few using test/delivery codes in the KE+ sequence. The Sabre you quote, the first Sabre 6 aquired from new from Montreal, with airframe construction number identity 'S6-1591', first became serial YA+005 with ESt61 (military test unit Erprobungsstelle 61 at Manching), subequently saw service with at least serial BB+161 of WS-10 (Waffenschule 10 a flying training unit at Oldenburg), then in 1968 permanent serial 01+01 (01+ sequence allocated to test aircraft) with MBB and subsequently preserved at Manching. There may well be specialist books on the Sabre in WGAF service too. I have a copy, PM me if you wish to delve deeper into this source.
By no means not all 'identies' are tied to a c/no, but a good number are listed. He lists by c/no: 75 Canadair CL-13B/F-86E/Sabre 5 225 Canadair CL-13B/F-86E/Sabre 6 and 88 Fiat F-86K Sabres.

SABER FX SERIAL NUMBER GENERATOR
Only best and only working key generator software. Main reference I know of is Paul Jackson's 'German Military Aviation 1956-1976', pub.
Only a handful of Sabres were renumbered in 1968 into the new sequence. The 'identity' worn on the fuselage either side of the national insignia reflected the unit (two letters) and an identity within the unit (three numbers).
SABER FX SERIAL NUMBER REGISTRATION
Prior to Jan 1968 all West German Air Force aircraft had no 'permanent' registration apart from the C/no or a previous military number.
