A long tail-wheel-strut is quite common on earlier type Gs at training units, as it made landing and starts much easier. On 15.06.44 the change of the tail-wheel on a/c at the training-units on behalf of special orders from O.b.d.L. was announced.

Hello Carl, Salut Marc,

Last time I saw that picture (16 May 2009!!!) it was captionned as a G-14 (with no mention about an AS type but why not?) of JG 104, taken in Fürth-Herzogenaurach. Could be Roth too....
For what I know code style match pretty well with that unit.
For the rest, I don't know.

Cheers, Franck.
