Re: Fw 190 D-9 21x 129

Thank you Ed and Matolion for these photos. All were new to me.

It's a pity that apparently there were no captions on the original photos that would reveal the location.

In the comment section of the second facebook link someone posted an image of Bf 109 'Black 16' and claims that it was the same aircraft (which it is not of course). But apparently both photos were taken by members of the same medic unit and it may well be that it was the airfield where this Fw 190 D-9 was found. The trees and surrounding fit. I have seen other photos of this 'Black 16'. If I remember correctly there is even a color shot in either one of the WOBC volumes (will check later today) or Brett Green's Bf 109 title published by Eagle Editions.

Marc-André Haldimann, if you are reading this, can you ID the location where the Bf 109 was found?
