Re: A few "Sunday" Bf 109's

Hi there,

Back to this 5.(S)./LG2 machine....
I do pretend that the two following pictures (3 & 4) represent the same airplane... Beyond the "C" (Red or Black, I choose Red) we have the same canopy style and - more important - that white vertical scratch in the black triangle.

Since you have picture #4 in your hand look at the left wing tip: Done?
Now look that one
http://www.me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=5786
and that one
http://www.me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=6101

Still the same position, still the same unit and still the same wing tip!

Last look at the last one: #5: Still the same discribed characteristics plus the same background than the second coming from Falcon site.
#3, 4 & 5 come from old eBay auctions: As you can read #5 is captionned as being taken at Vassiliéva, 3 Août 1941.

So what we have? a Bf109E-7 (but I still don't agree with that E-7), 5.(S)./LG2, "Rotes C", Vassiliéva, August 1941 (Remove the day 3 since obviously we can see the same plane at different stages).

Cheers, Franck.
