Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello Rudi,
I believe that 31_+ in Post #4542 is another photo of Erla-Leipzig-built Bf 109 G-14, WNr. 464221, marked 316+ black or red, outlined white, and found abandoned at Bad Wörishofen, Germany.
Other photos of this aircraft in my possession show its plane number clearly, but because of the angle of the sun, and a poorly exposed negative, its scrabble camouflage scheme is not apparent.
However, after comparing it technical details; the number and type of metal detritus scatter nearby; the presence of its relative-rare fuselage-spine-mounted antenna mast; and the position of its plane numeral “3” and the rear corner of its cockpit, I believe that they are one and the same.
As always, I welcome corrections and additions.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
