Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Thanks Andy, for those great shots, and Nick for your W.Nr. decoding.
As said by you, Nick, Bf 109 G-8 W.Nr. 201054 form NAGr. 11 is known to have had engine trouble 17 February 1945, location unknown but most probably Udine-Campformido in Italy.
As for Bf 109 G-10/R2 W.Nr. 77022x "Kleine 7", it is believed to have been found in May 45 at Udine-Campoformido and to have been on strength at 1./NAGr. 11.
In this W.Nr. range, we can exclude :
- W.Nr. 770223, delivered from WNF to 1./NAGr. 3, 2 April 1945
- W.Nr. 770224 "Weisse 10", on strength with 2./NAGr. 12 in Hungary, late 1944 - early 1945
- W.Nr. 770228 "Weisse 12", 1./NAGr. 12, lost 25 March 1945 during a failed crash landing due to AAA east of Wilmsdorf, killing Oblt. Kurt Kohlhagen.
Thanks again for your find,
Marc
