Re: Researching Bf-109 Crash in Sth London
According to Prien et al in JFV 4/II p. 161, WNr.2780 was marked Yellow 1 this is in accord with Barbas in II/JG 52, p. 301, incl possibility he was shot down by 74 Sqn.
Here's a profile of how the a/c may have looked, from:
SAM colours
Combat Colours Number 1
The Messerschmitt Bf 109E on the Western Front - 1940
by Peter Scott
p.42
