[Marc-André Haldimann]

Dear Obdl 3945, Si and Walt

Thanks for your inputs. For the first pic, strafing marks are clear, Obdl; Walt, you're correct by all means: no evident markings, just a lozange shaped hue which differs on the tail, at about the place where one would find the Swastika. Maybe a sign this plane was already under "new management"? This is not so obvious as, though not being an expert at all, it seems that the car behind the plane is a German Horch.

A look at the plane itself also shows the front wheel and leg are both missing, the main gear is down and with tyres, and that the righ engine is entirely missing, replaced, by an odd looking funnel-type object. Really an interesting picture: not a single clear evidence as to the place, the unit or even a clear sense for the ongoing action...

Cheers

Marc
