Hi there folks,
I'm currently carrying out, a huge cleaning sorting of my Flickr account in order to flush out all remaining pictures without a proper legend. in this process, I'm confronted with a serie of about 20 pictures showing a line of Bf 109 G-6 or G14 with no JG specific markings. They were all part of an album sold on Ebay probably around 2005 - 2008. I just found two of them on Neil's Falkeeins blogspot but without a legend in a post devoted to the 22 August 1944 air battle over Mantes which involved II./JG 53, III./JG 76 and III./JG 26.

Are they II./JG 53 machines or III./JG 76, which converted until 20 August 1944 on brand new Bf 109 G-14's? Can the unit and subtype be confirmed? Is the location for those pictures known?
Are those pictures stemming from the same album do represent the same unit? At the same or in another location? The same time frame?
