This looks like a more or less direct re-birth of the old thread about the Bf 109 G-10/R2 W.Nr. 77022? (
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...&highlight=770). In it there were several informations about the "survivors" of Campoformido, which I report here:
"According to the list of aircraft found at Campoformido compiled by Nick, Ferdinando and Gabriele Valentini, there were 11 Bf 109's, an Ar. 34, two Ju 188's and a Ju 88 found by No. 1 Forward Intelligence Unit (F.I.U.) Party B on 25 May 1945:
Of those 11 Bf 109 G's, 5 are positively identified as G-8's (W.Nr. 201129, 201134, 230132, 230144, 230292) and one more as our already noted Bf 109 G-10/R2 W.Nr. 770338. All those machines belonged to NAGr. 11.
The five remaining were found as follows:
- Bf 109 G, completely burnt out
- Bf 109 G, demolished, 1x MG 151 only
- Bf 109 G, completely burnt out
- Bf 109 G, completely burnt out, 1x MG 151 only
- Bf 109 G, completely burnt out, 1 x MG 151 only."
To these, we may (?) addthe two following G-10/R2s ...
"...when the 1° Gruppo was re-equipped in February 1945 with new Bf 109s, a couple of G-10/R2s were (erroneously) among the deliveries coming from German Luftparks.
Those, namely W.Nr. 770 184 and 770 209, were immediately flown to NaGr.11 in Campoformido on 27 February"
which may (?) be among those "
completely burnt out" wrecks reported.
On top of that we must surely add the "W.Nr. 77022?" of the previously quoted thread which certainly was found in the wide dispersal area around Campoformido a/f and wasn't included in the No.1 F.I.U. (party B) report.
Hope this answers some of the questions or (maybe) helps to raise some new ones...
