Re: Bf 109 G identity seeked

Caro Veltro,

Thanks fro your confirmation; you will appreciate bet if this picture was taken in Italy or in Germany... Interestingly enough, the crop growth points towards an early Spring stage (April at the latest). If I read Nick well, NAGr 15 was by then still at it's home base of Udine. What are the known losses in March - April 1945 for this unit?

Gogh,
Certainly. The issue is about this being the photographed plane... Still crossing my fingers for any fresh information. The background question I have is the very peculiar camouflage with this small RLM 76 (?) triangle atop the fin. This matches closely the same sign atop of Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 463 141 "Schwarze 17", 2./NAGr. 14, which was landed by it's pilot on 8 May 1945 at Fürth:

Any idea for the signification of this peculiar marking?

udf_00,

Thanks for your input; I'm aware of that, but the scenery cannot possibly match the corsican one... This photograph was certainly taken either in Northern Italy, or, as Veltro points out, even in Germany, though my gut feeling would speak for the former....

Cheers
Marc
