Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
And here my tentative ID for this Bf 109 G, just found by Peter over on LEMB:

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
As for the location, it was...on the Ebay auction itself: Zichenau - Ciechanów, Eastern Prussia, 1944:

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Excuse my ignorance but how did you conclude that it's a G-8. Is there a feature I should have spotted?

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Hello Nick,
The camouflage is my only lead; the very dense overspraying of the rear fuselage behind the Balkenkreuz is a feature always noted on all WNF produced G-8's. Now look to the Hakenkreuz: you have the usual RLM 76 only surrounding; the W.Nr. itself, painted in thin big numerals around and under the over-sprayed Hakenkreuz cannot be seen due to the tail being slightly out of focus. Agreed, the definitive proof of this machine being a G-8 is missing; still, comparing among all the G-8's on my Flickr pages, one can see IMHO the commonness of their WNF specifically applied camouflage. Cheers Marc |

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
John,
I wish I could be correct... But Nick has it right: nothing to be seen in the slightly out of focus tailplane... So no definitive clue. My point was really camouflage orientated as the recurring heavy blotching of the rear fuselage and the RLM 76 undersurface around the Hakenkreuz are a common feature for all W.Nr. identified Bf 109 G-8's: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 W.Nr. 200 041 http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 W.Nr. 200 265 http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 W.Nr. 200 2xx http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422W.Nr. 201 143 http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 W.Nr. 201 765 http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...57625536800422 W.Nr. 202 113 This said, no way to be 100% sure... And thanks, Nick, for the lead about the absence/presence of MG 131's. I wasn't aware of that. Cheers Marc |
