Re: ID of Bf109 down on French Beach BoB?
Yep Franck's right there is a discussion on this one already maybe this thread should be merged.
But another thought: the 'six' is rather curious because normally Luftwaffe 6's curled top end ends in a diagonal, this six has a flat, horizontal ending.
After studying lots of photographs, the only units to use this style of six were JG 51, JG 2 and JG 3. My theory is that, of the three aforementioned units, this is an ex-JG 51 machine specifically 5./JG 51 because the unit marking, the woodpecker, has been painted out just aft of the balkankreuz.
Franck, I also think Markus may have a point as wasn't Bf-109E-7 W.Nr. 2058, 3./LG 2 of Uffz. August Klick a 'white outlined Brown 2' ? Our photo in discussion also had very similar markings to this one.
Cheers
Chris
