Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Dear Gerry,

This is an Mtt built Bf 109 G-6/Trop operated by JG 53. The W.Nr. is chalked on the upward pointing propeller blade, possibly reading W.Nr. 16543. It certainly ascertains an Mtt built G-6; given the W.Nr. range, this photo was taken during his time in Sicily or Southern Italy during Summer 43.

Cheers
Marc

Detail of the blade attached after some processing. I'll leave others to decide what the number is!

Gerry,
you're most welcome !

Nick,
thanks for your processed blade detail. W.Nr. 16343 seems a fair possibility too. Alas no information on that particular machine to my knowledge.

Cheers
Marc

Thanks Gerry for this pic.
This said, 16543 was effectively captured as attested by the following picture. Source unknown (to not say eBay)
Cheers,
