Re: Me109 training unit identification

Hi Mike. Possibly JG.104 ? (formerly JFS.4) formed at Furth in March 43 as Stab. and I.Gruppe, disbanded April 45.There is a photo of a G-12 with a white "40" on the nose and part Stkz.(SJ) visible; SJ+UG / XY and XZ were 109s. Usual style though was a 3-digit yellow number on the fuselage. They used several airfields in the 2 years, all seem to be in Bavaria.

If they were in S. Germany I thought they might be Hungarian as they were moving into Austria and Germany late-war. I've seen a white no.43 on a 109G nose, in woodland with another 109; not Hungarian though.



Regards
Nick
