Hello Hans
thanks for the iinteresting info!
I have one question, what was the "in sort of a secret mission in Finland"? I know and the Soviets knew in 1944 that before its transfer to Baltic II./JG 5 had operated from Lappland. I'm pretty sure thatn also Swedes were aware of that.
Juha
Ps even the national markings of this size and colour combination were more visible than necessary from 600 m on a cloudy day according to the Finnish testsin in late 1943.
