Since the octane triangle isn't visible on fuselage top, this is most probably a Jumo engined Bf 109.

Thanks for your insight Franck; location might well be thus in France. A quick check of the +NK" STKz gives a possible candidate:

Bf 109 D-1 W.Nr. 2938 "CL+NK", Luftdienst-Kdo 12/1, damaged 21 May 1941, Fl.Pl. Mondésir, France. The same "CL+NK", described as a Bf 109 E W.Nr. 2908 in A.I.2G serial 253, was found abandoned at Fl.Pl. Rennes-Saint-Jacques in August 1944.

Cheers
Marc
