With an early canopy and Emil wing ? The tailplane strut is visible, on ground and still linked to the rear fuselage.

Note, too, the Lorraine cross drawn inside a V, painted two times on the visible wing.
Note, too, the early crosses on wing and on fuselage.
Since the octane triangle isn't visible on fuselage top, this is most probably a Jumo engined Bf 109.
The expired auction in attachment.

Thanks for your insight Franck; location might well be thus in France. A quick check of the +NK" STKz gives a possible candidate:

Bf 109 D-1 W.Nr. 2938 "CL+NK", Luftdienst-Kdo 12/1, damaged 21 May 1941, Fl.Pl. Mondésir, France. The same "CL+NK", described as a Bf 109 E W.Nr. 2908 in A.I.2G serial 253, was found abandoned at Fl.Pl. Rennes-Saint-Jacques in August 1944.

Cheers
Marc

from https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/70000186
120235 was thought to have served with I/JG1, and was captured at Leck in May 1945. It was brought back to the United Kingdom and given the Air Ministry identification number 63, and after storage in various locations was displayed at Cranwell. It is reported to have been test flown at the RAE, probably in 1945-46, and was subsequently in store at No.6 MU Brize Norton.

Thank you Marc,

I didn't took time to check and, to tell the truth, my Excel sheet is out of service; I have a back up, fortunately, but I don't want to use it except as a back up (!) to put the first in order. Soooo
...
Yes, in France; I was thinking about a Reims (SG101, Sch.FS1 or ZS2) machine but that 2938 suits me very well. 1941-1944 seems a long period but it was already packed and, obviously, left.
Note that once again there are a thousand of Mondésir in France....
Mondésir, 44290 Guémené-Penfao, France, 77km from Rennes
Mondésir, 35360 Montauban-de-Bretagne, France, 38km from Rennes
Mondésir, 35610 Saint-Georges-de-Gréhaigne, France, 85.5km
Mondésir, 53300 Couesmes-Vaucé, France, 93.9km
Mondésir, 53410 Le Bourgneuf-la-Forêt, France, 70.3km
Just in Rennes area.

That's the idea.

Until further notice.
Regards,
Franck.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The Lorraine cross with a V is a french victory marking.
