Re: Yellow rudder on Oblt Werner Bartels Bf109E-1 of Stab III./JG26 (26th July 1940)

John, thanks. I think what we are seeing here is a replacement or new rudder with fresher looking RLM65. Hence the difference in shade. As Göran has also pointed out over on LEMB, a couple of photos exist of the port side where the RLM27 octane triangle is much darker than the tonal value on the rudder.
