Re: Bf 109 G identity seeked

Hello everyone,

This beautiful aircraft is of particular interest to me because of the prominent wedge of white on its upper rudder. As Mr. Lake stated, counting this new example, there are four that I have documented so far:

G-? 11+ Bk o/l W, Belly landed, 45/05/08+ Location UNK
G-14 463141, 17+ Bk o/l W, Surrendered, 45/05/08, Fürth
G-14 12+ Y o/l Bk, Captured intact, 45/05/08, Kassel-Rothwesten
G-14? 1+ Bk o/l W, Surrendered, 45/04/26, Faßberg

Interestingly, along with the wedge of white on their rudders, three of the four share white-outlined black plane numbers. Hopefully, we will eventually determine the purpose of this unique rudder marking.
