Glad to know that we agree on that and, BTW, all my best wishes for your activity of giving publishing space to history studies.

In reality I didn't say that, I said that were focusing too much on an area where we didn't have precise proofs of Golding's presence. I however take as a good point the photo captioned as "Udine", and would be more than happy to verify that the "770 22x" was found in or around there, as it would at least be coherent to the place where we know NAGr.11 was based...

It is clear too, but this is irrelevant, that this photo was taken at a later time than the other because the panel to the right of "white 3" had been removed. (Ferdinando, it is the same plane.)
I already said in a previous post of this thread that after further examination I agreed with Marc that the two front and rear photographs showed the same aircraft. However, I do not understand why you are referring to the "770 22x" as "white 3", while it is clear that it is a "white 7"...



The smaller number style and placement is perfectly coherent with the one used by NAGr.11, as shown in other photographs of this unit's aircraft.

Hope this helps.
