Yes, former can be

Found at "Les Chanoines Airdrome" in 1944
- or be same as 290187 8H+DH reported at "Les Chanoines Airdrome"
Both were reportedly burned out but one is confirmed AFAIK and photo
of tail of 8H+DH appears have 87 as last two, and overpainted Stkz seems match 290187

Hi there Mark,

I just checked WOTBC 3 and missed the print you were mentioning... Whilst still in WOTBC 3, the two 109's published as "Weisse 28" are actually two different machines.
- The one above is an Erla built Bf 109 G-14, found at Köthen. unit is unknown.
- The one below is an WNF built Bf 109 G-14, both unit and ,location unknown.

Cheers
Marc

Thanks Roy, and safe travel.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

My apologies Marc. Typo here it should be WOTBC Number Four. Thanks as well for the 109 clarification.

Anyone having better location for "Les Chanoines Airdrome"
(google does not help) translates as "skirt" - outskirts of where ?

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Just a place name, nothing to do with clothing as far as I know.

Sone information that's been on the net since 2004: http://ghostbombers.com/dragoon/appx1a.html

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

near Istres it appears
remains of old dispersals at Istres are visible on Google maps

St Martin de Crau possibly ...
"Les Chanoines Airdrome" is listed separately (below Istres/Le Patis and Istres/Le Teube)
in MAAF Technical Report and RAF Captured Aircraft List No. 259 (but number is missing from my copy)

Ju 188 5243 was Ju 188 D-2 150042 8H+EH
(5243 was fuselage number)

(skirts ... clothing here ... https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanoine

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

adding St Martin is now also destroyed island

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Saint-Martin-de-Crau definitely.

I used a number of sources for that appendix, primarily MAAF Intelligence Section Files 1944–45, National Archives AIR51/281 (which is on microfilm only).
