I have the whole copy in my filing cabinet somewhere. It came from the USAF Museum Archives. It's a Royal Aircraft Establishment (like our NACA and later NASA) vulnerability test of the FW-190A series.
IIRC, The RAE ended up with at least 4 FW-190's after Faber's WNr 212. Most of them were FW-190G series from 10/JG2, 10/JG26, and later SchlachtGeschwader 10. One of them they tested to destruction. The conditions are actually listed on that first page I posted.
They were testing how effective their Aircraft Armament was in bringing down a Focke Wulf FW190.

I'd love to be able to read the entire paper. I'd like to know if the Brits were evaluating their Vickers .50 and not the BMG.
