Re: Bf 109s on eBay. 13/01

Ah Ok Mark,

Roughly the same time? ... Huum in a couple of month I guess.
Is it the same plane? I said "most" but probably was enough.
One clearly wears the early 40s camo the other the down-toned sides and yellow cowling.
Concerning the bush background: for me it's the same vegetation, size and "jizz"... Hence same place.
Period: mechanical suits, Kapok "mae west" ... less than a month of difference.
Most probably it's 2023 with its 17 victories when Lippert reach II./JG 27; and probably the plane has been repainted for BoB operations ... But, I agree that many retained their early 40 camo (see JG 3 for example) until well in 1941. Concerning II./JG 27, I'm not sure it's the case. Need to check this aspect.

Cheers, Franck.
