Re: Was 3.(F)/122 based in Belgium at any time in 1940 during the WC or the BoB
Hello,
My terminally crashed EoE photo DB is now replaced and back up and I'm posting the photo in question for further comments. This is clearly F6+D? For AufklärGr122, the color of the ring on the prop spinner would indicate the Staffel. I think that this is probably a yellow ring, and thus the full code would be F6+DL, but it could also be red, depending on the film, which would make it F6+DK. This photo had "Belgium" handwritten on the back. Note the large maintenance tent in the background, which might indicate "Western Campaign" of May-June, 1940, as Jaap has suggested. Does this look like a German airfield in Belgium during the late-spring of 1940?
I'd like opinions as to whether this has a yellow or red prop spinner ring, which would give us a full code (either F6+DL or DK), and whether this looks like a WC photo, as opposed to Battle of Britain. There is some kind of building in the background at right, but probably isn't clear enough to help ID the precise location.
Regards,
