Re: Which airfield?

Thanks Kutscha,

I've had a look again at the photo from the first post of the thread, and compared it with what appears to be an even earlier photo. In both photos, the Grauen Turm in Fritzlar is visible (i.e. the tower-like object in the photo from the first post), and in the second photo the Dom St. Peter in Fritzlar is also visible.

From what I can gather:

1. the camera is facing a north to north-north-west direction, and it is at the main Fritzlar airfield

2. other versions of the scene shown in the photo from the first post indicate that the camera is positioned right beside a paved road

3. there are no airfield structures visible between the aircraft and Fritzlar town in the background.

I now think the photos with Bf110 G9+BT show aircraft dispersed either alongside the western/north-western perimeter of the airfield or possibly outside of that perimeter, possibly between the airfield and the Eder river.

Cheers

Rod
