Timon,
I have to apologize and recognize you're right.
EJGr. Merseburg was closed on 15 November 1940 so if the said accident occurred in December 1940 this machine wasn't an EJGr. Machine any more since "all machines were dispatched among diverse JG units".
The hangar we can see on one of the photos is a Schiphol hangar, 100%.
This explains - but it was an old shot and I didn't remember well - why there was a Venlo/Amsterdam in my original caption.
See my comments about "Schwarze 12" in Facebook too.
Thanks again Timon.
Regards,
Franck.
