Since the 109s are your specialty, how do you nail this one as a JG 27 aircraft?
To me it is just an F without anything else to go by....

Hi Stig,
- If I remember well only JG27 had a wave for III. Gruppe marking, didn't it?
- Its WNr. is 8542 and III./JG27 did receive 8540 to 8546 (without talking about 8539 went to 10.(Jabo)/JG27 and 8548 used by Gromotka in II. Gruppe)
Roughly, the photo has been taken - most certainely during delivery flight - between September 1941 and January 1942. Note both 8543 & 8546 have been accidented (destroyed by own forces) as early as December 1941.
And I don't know where the pic has been taken but in Italy I suppose, most probably.
Cheers,
Franck.
