Hello John,

Seller is offering Four Bf 109 E photos and one Bf 109 F photo.
The displayed score board ( If Schnell) must have been taken in July 1941, in a time JG 2 was supposed to fly with Bf 109 F.

I don't think the Bf 109Es have something to do with that scoreboard; If so, then it's a VERY WEIRD JG 2 camouflage, and Schnell wasn't in Stab Staffel, was he?

Regards, Franck.
