Hello Hans
Curious about your center photo of the AWM example of the 425/17 cross.
I took this photo in 2003 ( the calipers and ruler are mine ) and wondered how you came to see it. No objections of course. Seems to confirm six degrees of separation theory.
The photo of 425/17 shows only the tail crosses and the fuselage cross which had been altered to the straight cross as per Idflieg regs.
The photo examples in the AWM are the wing crosses which had not yet been converted to their final form at the time of the crash.
This airplane had three cross revisions in three months.
You are seeing the second and third versions .
