232. The tail of white "3" showed the typical markings of a Baulos-Aufteilung 500xxx series aircraft: the simple black
hakenkreuz and the small black
werknummer well ahead of the lowest point of the
hakenkreuz. Note the lack of the "Running Wolf"
wappen on the nose but the red/blue RVT bands with the yellow vertical stripe signifying the
III. Gruppe of JG 7.

233. However, the first 500xxx
werknummer series was different from those that came later. In this picture, white gun rectangles are seen under the cannon access hatch that are missing in later series. As well, the
FuG 16Z access fairing over the starboard white
balkenkreuz is clearly a mismatched replacement seen in #230. A huge red dot can be seen on the engine nacelle.

234. This is a colour photo of W.Nr 500071 dating from 1953. Note that the white gun rectangles are missing, perhaps suggesting the Swiss have removed the MK 108s. Also note the "digital distortion" of the
balkenkreuz.
