Pity that the nose oil filler hatch can't be seen clearly, because I would bet this aircraft belongs to those G-14s fitted with the bigger oil nose tank (from "horseshoe" shape to annular one) and thus had the "higher" placed one, like on G-10s and K-4s.

Jörg and Ferdinando,

All my thanks for correcting and narrowing down the W.Nr. range. It is much appreciated. You are duly credited in the stream, as Peter, from LEMB who tracked the original site harboring this set of three pictures (http://www.stalag18a.org.uk/)

Srecko, looking forward for your profile.
Oberst, your info is very interesting. May I ask for your source?

Cheers
Marc
