Hi,

Well...the wreck was found recently...but it "looks" like a high impact wreck, as opposed to a belly landing. Cockpit and firewall are a completely crumpled mess.

Werk # is 100% correct, as the main data number was found.

The dig team gave me the above info...so not sure how they came up with the info, as no pilot found at wreck sight. Maybe just mis-information?

This is further info that I was just given...source I do not know.

August 17, 1943 at 5:52; Bf109 G-6 W.Nr. 20451 "Gelbe 7" was lost in a dogfight with enemy fighters. Shot down by an La-5, 8 km south-east of Raisins (south-east of Kharkov, Ukraine) and went missing.

Maybe it was Wolf's bird...but was lost when piloted by Uhl? Either way, the dates do not make sense, as it overlaps (the above 100% loss is before the belly-landing loss).

Any photos of the bird?

Mike
