Hi guys,
What an old shot! We have one answer with that recent eBay auction:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/37457077748...-nYlAKYVd_bZ8w
9704 is clearly visible on this pic together with broken "Schwarze 2" illustrated in JFV 9.I page 76. Place is Soltsy !
Waraponowa is correctly spelled for 9204 loss as Varapanovo (aka Warapanowo for german reader) which is situated around 150km east of Soltsy.
So: Between the earlier image and this one "Gelbe 3" is exactly in the same state. If down at Varapanovo I cannot imagine the machine being transported without being dismantled. So 9704 for Grasser is certainely wrong.
Concerning 9204. Why not? but II./JG51 was supposed to be based at Brjansk during this period and Brjansk is situated 750Km south of Varapanovo.
Regards,
Franck.
