Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

John,

I wish I could be correct... But Nick has it right: nothing to be seen in the slightly out of focus tailplane... So no definitive clue.

My point was really camouflage orientated as the recurring heavy blotching of the rear fuselage and the RLM 76 undersurface around the Hakenkreuz are a common feature for all W.Nr. identified Bf 109 G-8's:

This said, no way to be 100% sure... And thanks, Nick, for the lead about the absence/presence of MG 131's. I wasn't aware of that.

Cheers
Marc
