Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Hi there Gang,

Here, thanks to Peter D. Evans over on LEMB , a freshly found Bf 109 G-14 picture:

Two Bf 109 G can be seen. The front one is, given it's camouflage, a WNF built Bf 109 G-14, W.Nr. 51x xxx "Weisse 7", 1./JG 3 (note the thin red tailband behind the Balkenkreuz)

The second is a Mtt-Regensburg built Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 782 482 "Weisse 20" (?), 5./JG 3 (The thin red tailband is fully seen).

I./JG 3 and II./JG 3 ended up in May 1945 at Leck, near Hamburg. The seller of this picture also sports another pic of British soldiers of the Welsh Regiment, which 4 and 5 Battalion were effectively deployed at war's end in the area of Hamburg. It is thus probable that both planes were in effect found at Leck. Any confirmation would be highly appreciated!

Cheers
Marc
