Steve Sheflin found in CEA 257 a second "Gelbe 2" from 11./JG 3 at Saint-André-de l'Eure as well: WNF built W.Nr. 440760.

We now have to front those two valid candidates, W.Nr. 165000 and W.Nr. 440760, both from the same unit and at the same location.
- W.Nr. 165000 is said to be "Fuselage and engine only, tail torn off" (CEA 257).
- W.Nr. 440760 "listed as being a fuselage only" (CEA 257)

W.Nr. 165000 does offer an exact photographic match on the old eBay photo provided above tracked down by Roy-Magne Mo on my Flickr pages.
We are also sure that the current eBay offer does show the same machine, given the skin dent visible just ahead of the "Gelbe 2", clear to be seen on both shots.

Given those facts, the description given for W.Nr. 165000 is a 100% visual match versus the "fuselage only" given for W.Nr. 440760. I thus respectfully suggest we have on both photos W.Nr. 165000.

Cheers
Marc

Thanks.
I'm curious to find another JG3's "Gelbe 2" to compare code style this one being quite unusual! :)
Regards,
Franck.

This aircraft is a He111H-1 VIP transport, namely the aircraft VIP General Weise, Wr.5113, commander of the 11th Panzer Division. It was captured August 28, 1944, and was paid in early 1945 Dor Group (GB 1/31 Aunis) who used especially the Ju88A-4. For all we know it was never armed and used only for connecting flights, mostly flown by the commander Dor itself. This aircraft had three major periods.

1. From August 44 to March 45: He kept his German camouflage surlequel were applied roundels and black and white stripes of recognition.
2. In March 45 arrival at Cazaux, he was repainted light beige with red propeller spinners. It is from that moment he was called "the Pinasse" by mechanics, a pinnace is a small boat of the Bordeaux region.
3. In 1946 he was sent to the Paris area and was completely painted green. It was finally dismantled in 1949

Certainly not an Me110 with radial engines.
