Not Britisch but SAAF markings. This is KJ-? captured and refurbished by SAAF 4° Sqdn.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Rudi,

Thanks very much indeed for last links!
Regards,
Franck.

Yup, this is the famous rig with the damaged left wing Fw 190.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

A couple of thoughts about the belly-landed Ju 87 D-5:

The Alpine location is consistent with the last days of NSG 9, when some of its aircraft did not complete their withdrawal from Thiene to Innsbruck.
The camouflage looks like NSG 9's characteristic scheme.
The white spinner with narrow spiral doesn't.
There is a yellow individual letter on the starboard side which at first I took for a C or G (but E8+GL is already accounted for, backed into the barn at Innsbruck).
The 17 on the tail would be consistent with 3./NSG 9's earlier incarnation as 2./NSG 2, in which case 17 = Q. So maybe E8+QL. However, I'm not sure these numbers survived the application of NSG 9 camouflage once the unit arrived in Italy and was renamed.
MG 151/20 barrel on the port wing but apparently missing from the starboard.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Well done RudiS, find that D-9 was excellent!

I thought you guys would like that one. Here's another interesting one:

The RVB tailband looks to be white-black, hence a I./JG 26 machine in Northern Germany ?

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thank you, Rudi, for more Me 262s.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/631-WWII-10...s/312524245388

Under the heading sheer speculation I would guess at the identities of these planes at Hotting:

In the foreground is Major Bruckner's (G.d.S) White 12. Behind it is WNr. 110586 Red 1 of IV./EKG 1.

best regards,

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Jim did you see post #1619?

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Snautzer,

Thank you for waking me up! That image of 111747 has probably the best resolution for that picture I have seen.

Thank you for this and all your posts.

Jim

Hi there RudiS - and thanks !

Could the Me 262's be seen at Lechfeld, or is it Innsbruck Hötting, as always ?

Thanks for your ongoing haul, highly appreciated.

Marc

it look absolutely like Hötting from the long straight road and trees bordering the landing ground. And as usual, the photographer was too dumb to get shots of the infinitely more important NSG 9 Ju 87s and Fw 190s there!

Hi Nick,

Here’s another shot of this aircraft. Unfortunately, no info on the location:

Wayne Little id: White 2 W.Nr 170071

Thanks, Snautzer

This new photo of 170071 was taken in May 1946 after scavengers had cleaned up the site allowing a good look at the grenade damage to the engines and the blast effect on the fuselage.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

170071: I never realized, until now, there was something painted on nose just before the "2".

Possibly an american tag: I see RS*(...) and it is painted over the scorched cannon bay area.

Cheers
Marc

Hi Franck,

I think you are right. And if you enlarge the picture you will find that the starboard gun access door is flipped up and also has white writing on it.

OOOOh Yes!
Thank you Jim.
No need to enlarge the pic to see it; just open the eyes :)

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

This last one is a challenge for me. What type could it be?

I was asking myself the same question.
