John,
It must not have been Jg3 then. I only chose JG3 as they were all I could find who were stationed at Paderborn in '45. is there any chance you could have a guess at which jagdgeschwader this G-6 might have come from, using the info it is a G-6 and was destroyed after an alarm start by a P-51 having taken off from Paderborn. an educated guess would tide me over

Thanks for all your help
Matt
