He said early 41, FW190 didn't enter theatre until the back end of 41. and it was the A1 first, A3 wasn't until 42. Fw190 was King on the western front until the spit Mk9 though.

It really looks like every test pilot who flew the C.202 or C.205 was impressed by the way they flew, by their great maneuverability and just pure pleasure of flying.
I remember Eric Brown's opinions about the 205, but it's nonetheless nice to see the 205 there.
What a shame there isn't a flyable 202 or 205 in the world (apart from the Macchi owned one which flew in the 80s, which is stored inside their hangars by now ... )
It would be so cool to see one going up in the sky again.
