Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Thanks to Spektor, over on modelforum.cz, this very interesting Russian photo found on this page:
http://soviet-aces-1936-53.ru/abc/t/tomarev.htm
https://www.flickr.com/photos/280920...in/dateposted/

This photo shows Maksim Nikolajevič Tomarev standing in front of what I believe to be a WNF built Bf 109 G-10 with a JG 4 emblem on the cowling. Thus, "Gelbe 11" sporting the vertical bar of III. Gruppe should be a 11./JG 4 machine. I miss though the Black-white-black colours RVB band.

Location for this photo could be Jüterbog-Damm where III./JG 4 was stationed until 2 April 1945, or nearby Mark Zwuschen (III./JG 4 was there until 12 April 1945). Both airfields were taken 20 April 1945 by Red Army units.

Any thoughts ?
Marc
