Hello Nikita
thanks a lot for the info!
IMHO 6.25 is the take-off time and that is in the line of the info from Atso Haapanen's Kesäsota book (Apali, 2006) that MT-229 crashed at 6.50 at Kaukajärvi (probably typo meaning Kaukjärvi), and also with the take-off times he gives. IIRC M.T. is +2 from the Finnish time. The only other Bf 109 loss of the FiAF on that day was MT-419.
1944-06-17, 1155, MT-419, 3./HLeLv34, kapt Olli Puhakka unhurt, SW of Muolaanjärvi/Heinjoki a/f, 3 hvmg hits 1 hit to radiator 2 hits in blades during aircombat with Il-2s (Keskinen-Stenman books say that hit by a fighter, but IMHO the fact that the hits were 12,7 mm hits and the places of the hits suggest hits by a Il-2 rear-gunner) during forced landing onto Heinjoki a/f right u/c retracted, right wingtip bended, blades chipped, destr during transport to repairs on 200644 during the bombing of Elisenvaara station. SOC 300844, from the combat report and the a/c papers. Flight time 26h 20min.
