Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Gents,
Thanks to Spektor over in modelforum.cz this picture of an Erla Bf 109 G-10.
Caption created by former Normandie-Niémen pilot Penzini family says "Le Bourget, 25 June 1945".
It is reknown the RC 3 reached Le Bourget this day but I don't believe they bring a G-10 with them.
Any ideas?
Note the kite has flamme damper over exhaust typical for a (former at least) Nachtjagd Jäger. The camouflage too ...
Regards,
Franck.

PS: Landscape in background is too far for Le Bourget.

Hi Franck.

You're right, the background doesn't look like Le Bourget. It's Prague-Rusin Airport.
