Re: eBay: one photo, two Bf 109 with "strange" markings.

The photo was taken at the flight line of the repair shop Brinker Eisenwerke at Oslo-Kjeller. This station repaired mainly Bf 109 and Ju 52, which became damaged at Norway.

Visible are the numbers ?422 and ?3 at the rudders. This may be the two Bf109G-2 WNr.10422 und 14653 which were at the shop during the summer of 1943.

Painting temporarily the Werknumbers in large figures on the aircraft was not an uncommon practice at repair shops.
