Bf 109 G-5 W.Nr. unknown "Weisse 218", Erg. JG ?, Germany, 1943. Note the faired over flare dispenser at the base of the windscreen, the dessicant capsule built in the windshield and the long radio antenna. A very interesting bird.

Thanks Ed!
Marc
Actually it looks like an early G model (G-2 or G-4): no MG 131 bulges and no dessicant capsules in lateral and upper panels. The dessicant capsule in the windshield frontal panel was present in all G models (to absorb moisture between the windshield and the internal armored glass).
