Hi Tony,
I thought about this many times, and not only this plane. I reached to the only possible conclusion, they took the rudder out to put it on another plane. I even gone further: was it possible to take it out from a Bf109E to put on Bf109F??? Of course, these are only speculations: Better ideas?
other commentaries:
- The first Oesau picture put in this thread have been Highly repainted.
- Yes, Oesau did put victories on rudders see his "White 13" for instance.
- And the guy on the picture (B&W one)
IS Balthasar.
Last I've read this thread many times, I still don't know when, where, this picture have been taken; lot of mixture and confusion...
Regards,
Franck.
