Re: Rudder markings
My guess would be that this is the rudder of Oblt. Günther Fink's Bf109G-2, although the victory markings do not exactly match his score; it looks like in the first eight claims there was one that eventually was not confirmed. If that assumption was true, the tally would match Fink's claims with black stripes representing daylight and white stripes nighttime claims. With the score standing at 28 - minus one not confirmed - this photo would have been taken on or after 2 September 1942.
Hope this helps
