Re: A former Galland's Bf109F ???? (eBay picture)

A very interesting photo indeed. To me, this is a Bf 109 F of Stab I./JG 1 taken at Wangerooge airfield in 1942 - the tip of the lighthouse of the island of Wangerooge can be seen in the background.

Maybe this aircraft with its wing armament is in fact the Messerschmitt that appears as the single Bf 109 F-8 in the strength returns of I./JG 1 throughout 1942 and until January 1943.

Any comment is welcome.
