Re: Bf 109K Data Plate Location

First a correction. My previous posting should read, “the same pillbox is present on the berm in the background.”

Stephen, you are correct. On my color photo of this Bf 109 G-10, the small silvery rectangle visible on Mr. Searl’s B&W view (at the upper corner of the square refined cowling return) cannot be seen. I believe this a function of the angle and the darkness of my color slide, or maybe a GI took the plate? There are too many matching points in the photos for them not to be the same aircraft.
