Re: BF 109G-10 77022. New gen

Buondi Ferdinando,

Thanks for your much appreciated valuation of those new pictures! The fact that they might after all be shot in Italy do make things easier regarding to the surrounding, quite southern, vegetation. After having checked both pictures, I arrive to the conclusion that both do represent the same Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 770 22x "Kleine Weisse 7" of a yet to identify NAGr.
- Notice the blown engine lying at the same canted angle
- Notice the rudder and tailplane canted at the same angle

That there was a time span between the two shots is exemplified by the much greater damage seen on the fuselage, between the cockpit and the Balkenkreuz. This difference is not sufficient IMHO for establishing with certainty the presence of two different G-10's. I keep thus a cautious approach with one plane shown by two different pictures.

Cheers and thanks again
Marc

PS: the Bf 109 G-6 W.Nr 160 319 "14 Giallo" is another extraordinary shot...
