Re: German aircraft at Eelde airfield

A very old thread, but an appropriate spot for the following question: Is this photo of Fw 190 D-9 210037 already known? : http://www.thememoryproject.com/stor...en-richardson/

This aircraft, which had belonged to III./JG 54 at least in November 1944, was rather extensively covered in JaPo's "Fw 190D camouflage & markings Part I" - its tactical marking "11" was said to have been red and in the photos known at that time no fuselage band was recognizable. However, in the photo posted above you can clearly see a fuselage band (I still don't have Crandall's books, so forgive me if this is old news). Of which color might it have been? Perhaps (washed-out) blue of JG 54? AFAIK this wasn't documented on a D-9 so far - What do you guys think?

Regards,
Christian

EDIT: Can someone please repost the Fw 189 photos from earlier in this thread? Thanks!
