Re: Photos 4-26-13 +

Hi Clint/Chris,

Was happy to be corrected. Could find reference to red numbers for I/JG53 but nothing for III/JG53. Pringle had two claims with III/JG53 in June 1940.

Agreed, we don't know if it is I/JG53 or III/JG53. When did they use the experimental camouflage. Think 4034 was recorded as grey/mottled on the crashed aircraft report.

Agreed, no evidence of red number for 4043 with III/JG53 though it did have a red number and circle whilst with JG77 in 1939.

Interesting photo all the same.

regards

Mark
