A Geschwader Bongart Reggiane Re 2002 in color
Together with an Erla built Bf 109 G-6 or G-14, this Re 2002 filmed at a yet to determine location. Could it be Lyon-Bron ?

It's not obviously Lyon-Bron (no sign of the bombed-out hangars where two other Re 2002 were filmed and photographed). A shame that there is no Werk Nummer visible on the fin to help track it down.

Ah Nick, we know our plight: never or only seldom the right identification elements on the screen...
Fortunately, the landscape features are clear enough: thanks to Jacques Strübi, over on "Bf 109 from Anton to Toni" Group on FB, this film was made at Valence airfield. Cheers Marc |

Thanks Nick,
W.Nr. 1252 "DV+BE" seems to fit well the "complete (sic) burnt out" description. Any ideas about the Bf 109 unit ? Cheers Marc |

As a follow-up, here another criticalpast colour film with another Geschwader Bongart Re 2002, seen at Valence - La Trésorerie, August 1944:
http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65...erman-aircraft According to the descriptions given here http://www.ghostbombers.com/Bongart/GB_25.html this should be W.Nr. 1222: "Swastika painted on fuselage and wings. All nameplates changed to German; camouflage — olive green and duck-egg blue mottled. Spinner black with white spiral overpainted. Cockpit badly burnt out by ignition of fuel tank. Aircraft shot up from front." Cheers Marc |
