Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Hi folks,
Among my sweep through the online Bundesarchiv photos, I found this one which is a real tough nut to crack: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...in/photostream My interpretation, based on the camouflage pattern, is as follows: Bf 109 G-8 W.Nr 20. ..., NAGr. ?, France, Autumn 1944. Source: Bundesrachiv, PK Röderer, Bild 101I-496-3453-39A. I would be grateful for any complementary information ...and confirmation;-)) Marc |

ChristianK,
Just found thanks your thread revival of Bf 110 G-4 W.Nr 720 082 this good shot of Bf 109 G-14/AS W.Nr. 465 381: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625539886908 The picture was taken by 4 US Infantry Division 8th Infantry Regiment, no location given. Any chance to narrow down the location? Cheers Marc |
Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Sorry Marc, no idea...

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Danke Christian! Will try to track down where his unit was in April 1945... Cheers Marc |

Thanks to Peter over on LEMB, another nice Bf 109 K-4 picture:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...in/photostream Bf 109 K-4 W.Nr 334 ... or 335 ..., unit unknown, Goslar, May 1945. Source: Ebay auction via LEMB Forum. No tactical markings nor RV Band are to to be seen. Now which unit was operating from Goslar during the Spring 1945? Thanks! Marc |
Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Hi Marc,
According Michael Holms site; only one (among fighter units) III./JG 27 until 8/4/45. Not a lot but that's all I can do. Cheers, Franck. |
Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Merci beaucoup, Franck!
That gives us at east a clue: low vis RV band seen under that angle, dark tactical markings, add a tad of shine on the paint job, and there you have a perfectly anonymous Bf 109 K-4 when seen under that angle;-)) and which very well could be of 10./JG 27... Cheers Marc |

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
And you're probably right so, Jörn. I've checked again the picture and the W.Nr. 465 381 is fully legible; even the washed down "6" can be made out.
What can't even with the best good will, is the AS bulge: a propeller blade stands oddly at that particular place, combined with the shadow of the metallic roof.. Facit: W.Nr. is correct , and yes, it can by all means be a Bf 109 G-14. Any way to be positive about it? Thanks Marc |
