Re: Battle of Britain Bf109E found in India a few years ago?

Hello,

I agree with Andy that this is Black 6+I, as it is reported to be. It obviously was built in 1939, with the old-style camouflage, and may well have previously flown with I./JG77. Not much left of the 1940-style camouflage paint, which has apparently mostly weathered away.

A very productive discussion here, due in no small measure to the wonderful photos by Peter Arnold. We all thank you Peter for your willingness to share these.

Regards,
