Hi gents,

Never seen that one:

1: Is it new?
2: Is it Hötting?

Regards, Franck.

Salut Franck!

According Dan O'Connell's analysis posted on LEMB, this plane could be a Stab./JG 7 machine. The pic is taken at Innsbruck, positively identified as such.

Definitely Innsbruck-Hötting. Blasienberg (Mt. St.Blaise) is in the background; view is from northeast looking southwest.
Concerning the jet ist max be also one of the ex-I./JG51 (red tailtip with white trim?) machines.

Bonjour Marc & Roland,

Thank you both of you:
Marc; for the link!!!! :p
Roland to confirm the place - for which I had/have no many doubts, except I have/had NOT this one in my datas.
Roland, I agree for an ex-I./JG 51 machine but when you say "one of the ex-I./JG 51 machines" does it mean there was others? And do you mean ex-I./KG 51 instead of JG?
Last, in order to help people I join an aerial view of contemporary (1945) Hötting airfield.
1/ Someone able to point where was this present machine?
2/ It will be good to get a larger view of that picture - is it possible?

Thanks for comments and help.

Regards, Franck.

PS: don't forget my question: "is it a new picture?"
.... and here is the aerial view I was talking about...

Terrible typo:o - of course KG 51.
Remember "Black L", 9K+FH on southern bavarian airstrips.
This one seems to be parked close to the poplar alley in the north of Hötting airfield.

You're forgiven Roland!
Infortunately that place is in the back ground of the picture I put!
Is you're natural language english or german???
Cheers, Franck.

Hello Christian,

Thank you very much. I like your answer: +1!!
I want to make a link with some pictures I have. I'm unable to do it since the red fin tip isn't obvious on those...
I think one can match - "poplar alley" as told by Rolland - but ???

Thanks again, cheers. Franck.

PS: Yes, my second point of interest are me 262s.... Not only Bf 109.

Re: A New Me262 picture taken in Hötting?
 

Hi Franck,

the poplar alley marks the northern border of Hötting a/f and the road from Innsbruck to Zirl and via Garmisch further into southern Bavaria. That´s why many JV 44 jets parked along that road were photographed by GIs whereas the other planes parked along the river Inn at the southern border of the Hötting airfield (your photo) weren´t photographed that much.
Btw, my native language is German...

Regards

Roland

OK Roland,
Thanks for your quick answer!!! I start to get the figure... We talk later!
Tschüss, Franck.
