Re: Photos 11-24

Yes, I could hardly believe my eyes when Andreas phoned me and told me about this photo of Yellow 15!

It is odd how something can be unknown for so long, like this emblem, and then suddenly we have solid evidence of tis exitstence on an actual aircraft and an artefact from the war and then also a photo to verify its existence and use!

We are trying to get this photo, of course, let's hope our anti-Sudek13 filters work!

Note how the aircraft seem quite weathered and repainted, apaprently 12. Staffel's Focke-Wulfs had seen some considerable use at this time (late 1943/early 1944). The blakc exhaust area is also very interested.

Also note how the position of the emblem is almost an exact match to Yellow 16, here illlustrated by a profile:



Best regards,

Kjetil
