Bf 109 G-6 166223 and 166224 photos!
Hi,

I just came across a photo on ebay that looked very familiar. After some search I found its sister ship that is well known already. What is interesting is:

- The painted number on the rudder. Looks like a large (yellow?) 93 for 166224 and 95 (?) for 166223. Is this a factory ID-number? Or did these two 109 belong to the same unit? But then, why is one missing the Gruppe bar and aircraft no.?

- The camouflage is remarkably similar: look e.g. at the camouflage spots in front of the Balkenkreuz.

Is anything about 166223 known?

Regards
Roger
