"Bei xxxxxxx
Eine Messerschmitt M 109 notgelandet"

I have tried some variants (Grouellisses, Gnavellisses, and so on...) at google, but I cant get a hit. For me it looks like a french coast scenery?!

David,

it means "Gravellinnes". IMHO a typo, the correct name should be Gravelines (F59820).

"Running dog" emblem on the cowling indicating a Bf 109 E from 5./JG 77.

Running dog emblem is JG 141, later I. and II. Gruppen of ZG 1. The emblem was designed by Richard Marchfelder, who was with JG 141, II./ZG 1, then III./ZG 76, being shot down and becoming a PoW during the Battle of Britain. How do I know he designed the emblem? From the man himself. He also designed the famous 'Wespe' emblem. Here I am with him at one of the Wespentreffen during the late 1980s.:

Thanks for correction John! I relied on Ketley and Rolfe, Luftwaffe Embleme 1939-1945, Bernard & Graefe Verlag.

Any more info on this Bf 109 with this emblem to share?????
