Were this brand new planes, or rebuild ones? The engines were also build in Romania? Anyone knows more about these planes (production data, service data, etc)?

Brasov Plant well before August 23, 1944 (in early 1944, IIRC). These were all new machines, made of new parts. However, the percentage of parts actually manufactured at I.A.R.-Bv. and those imported from Germany is not yet known. These 'Gustavs' were marked 301-375. Their original German Werknummern is also a mystery... Dénes
