Re: Photos 3-26
Hello!
About the Ju 88 A4 RF+ON on these photos: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=300204246143 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=300204246391 Looks like it has full Eastern Front markings in addition to the instrument trainer bands (yellow also under wing tips). Any ideas what the unit of this plane would have been? KG 101?? Cheers, Kari |
Re: Photos 3-26
Hello all,
First appears as A-4 RF+ON (White ? ´7´ ) - W.Nr. 6614 - but the latter appears to have ´25´ on fin (but photo is rather blurry). I have no match for accident of 6614 in period January 1943 to September 1944 (Schulen losses) but damage may have been less than 10% (but one broken wing and needing two new engines / props may have resulted in damage of at least 15 - 20%). cheers ed |

I was just makeing a statement that 262 photos have been very scarce of late. Did I miss one ? Usually Ed notes a 262 photo, or anything of 262 significance. |

Is that a smashed 262 fuselage lying on the ground beside the Ar 96? The vendor's caption "WWII German FW-190 and ME-109 Graveyard" is, as usual, slightly misleading! |

Additional piece of information surfaced. RF+ON has apparently been logged in Herbert Riedel's Flugbuch. Unit was FFS (C) 9 and date May 6th, 1943. According Michael Holm's site the unit was based at Pretzsch which is some 200 km SW of Berlin. This leaves the Eastern Front markings without explanation. Would RF+ON have been transferred to KG 101? This was training unit and based at Pskov for May to August 1943. It may have participated on missions too. During Summer 1943 Luftflotte 1 had practically no bombers as they were transferred to central sector of Eastern Front (Lfl 6 area). Thanks for responses, Kari |

Arrghhh, I looked at all the posted photos earlier, thinking I had missed one. I saw that one but nothing jumped out at me as a 262, but now all I get is a "Page unavailable". |

The link from Ed's second posting still works so it must be a problem from when I copied the URL into my post. But anyway, I've attached the photo here.

Any idea of location? They are new to me! Ooops, the one down the road may be a 190, it's awful hard to tell. |

No idea of a location, the pencilled caption on the reverse just says "wrecked German planes." |

LMAO, thanks Nick, I don't get treats like this every day. Totally unknown location. |
Re: Photos 3-26
Hey guys,
That last photo was taken at Fürth. In the background is the fuselage of Fw 190 A “8+ White” up on its nose; the one with JG 301's reversed RV bands that I first published in AIRFOIL #3, page 32. This is a great shot because it is from the back side of the others I have seen. Steve Sheflin |
Re: Photos 3-26
Is it a set of Me 262 wings to the left of the road?
Regards, Goran |
Re: Photos 3-26
The Ar 96 seems to have two colored bands on the rear fuselage : if it is true, JG 301 or JG 7 ?

Re: Photos 3-26
Von Alles,
I'll dig out my Fürth color slides and confirm the bands on Ar 96 “56+ I Yellow.” If I remember correctly, however, I think it's just a single band? Steve Sheflin |
