A fabulous shot, RudiS!

We have here Erla built Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 151 934 "Gelbe 13" seen with the JG 300 RVB tailband; as it sports the short horizontal black bar of JGr. 300, ordered if memory serves me well in April 1945 for regrouping II. and III./JG 300.

Location for this rare shot, possibly stemming from Carl Hildebrand's collection, is unknown so far. JGr. 300 machines were found at Langensalza, München-Riem, Ainring and Salzburg by war's end. Given the open and flat country to be seen, München-Riem would be a good candidate.

Thanks again, RudiS !

Great find indeed!
WNr. 151934 was a Bf 109 G-10/R6 of a batch of a/c taken over on 25. March 1945 directly at the Erla-Auslieferungslager at Leipzig. III/JG 300 took over more than 20 a/c that day.

And again that elusive black Balken on the Rumpfband. IMHO JGr 300 is a very remote possibility only, but who knows?

Carl,

Thanks for your precision regarding W.Nr. 151934. Regarding the touchy JG 300 - JGr. 300 issue, we have all told seven machines documented photographically so far sporting the short horizontal bar regarded as the specific JGr. 300 markings :

Note the Me262 "Weisse 26" in background. Pity, still no place indication.
