Klemchen and harrisson 987,
thanks for the insight in the finer points of accesss hatches locations in the late G and early K fuselages, it is appreciated.
SMF 144,
Any other sources supporting that "Chevron 5" was one of the machines flown by Barkhorn? Any Wnr known?
As to the location of the Bf 109 K-4 fuselages dumped, Etraro over on LEMB suggested Wertheim as he located another picture of the same dump in the just released LO+ST book (GI photos of Luftwaffe planes, see the link here:
http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...showtopic=8421) compiled by Hideki Noro.
SMF 144 and Ouidjat,
Yes, very interesting indeed this wavy RLM 76 line above the wing junction line; Thomas Poruba and Kees Mol do point out that the Bf 109 K-4's found in Wertheim have this special camouflage pattern, differing from all other known productions runs (Poruba and Mol 2000, p. 40, with two photos).
Thanks to all for your inputs.
Cheers
Marc
