Michiel.

Thank you so much for what you are doing ...

Best regards, Franck.

Hi there Michiel,

Like Franck, i wish to thank you: great pointers you find there. As for this particular shot, we have IMHO a WNF built Bf109 G-14 of I./JG 53. An unknown to me pic so far. The setting points towards a late March or early April pic, on the eastern side of the Rhine...

Thanks again!
Marc

This should be a Mtt built Bf 109 G-14. No unit ID to be recognized...

Bf 109 K-4 in the W.Nr. 330xxx - 331xxx batch, "Schwarze 2". Notice the dice emblem which can be seen under the windscreen. After checking my Flickr account, this is Bf 109 K-4 W.Nr. 330 ...

The last Me 262 looks like WNr 170071 "White 2" from III./EJG 2, flown to JV 44 by Maj Erich Hohagen and found at Hofolding forest close to the Autobahn.

Hi Roland,

yes, this is "white 2", WNr 170 071, ex EK262, then III./EJG2, parked at the end of April 45 alongside the Autobahn near Brunnthal airstrip.

Luftwaffe took over this plane on 27th July 44. So this Me262 had a very long service life.

There are photos of Hohagen sitting in the cockpit of this "white 2" taken at Lechfeld in November 44 . I am quite sure that Hohagen didn´t fly this kite when with JV44.

Best regards, Karl
