Re: Bf109G6 reccon birds
As a quickie reply, I thought R3 was the recce version with the twin underwing drop tanks, but "The Bf 109 Recognition Manual" by Marco Fernandez-Sommerau says the R3 was simply the normal fighter with a centre-line 300l drop tank. He then says the U2 is the version with GM-1 equipment, and that the R2 is the army-support recce a/c with one RB 50/30 camera and MW-50 power boost. The manual for the 109 G-6/R2 says it is a recce with MW-50 power boost.
I haven't yet checked other references.
All the best,
George
