Seeking photograph of yellow 9+ sitting on an airfield (probably Caffiers) - can anyone help ?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have a photo of a Yellow 9 or Yellow 9+I force-landed on a French Beach probably during the Battle of Britain. Is that what you're looking for? Why do you associate Otto Jaros with Yellow 9?

Yes - If this is the same one that crashed (as wr.6353 allegedly) on 15 Nov 40 13.33hrs nr. Blackbush Corner, Homdon-on-the-Hill, Essex

I have found the following link with colour drawing:
http://www.aviationmuseum.co.uk/109.htm
However, there appears to be some confusion as the drawn aircraft is yellow 9+I of the III Gruppe. Fw. Otto Jaros flew yellow 9+ of 3/JG26. as recorded on the Luftwaffe loss records.

The drawing is wrong as it shows a Bf 109 of 9./JG 26 as opposed to 3./JG 26. Jaros was flying an E-1/B Wk Nr 6353 Yellow 9+ which accords with I Gruppe not III Gruppe
