Dear RudiS,

What a good find ! Another machine from a tactical recce unit, "Weisse 1", "N5+AH", NAGr. Bromberg, deployed by war's end at Bayreuth Bindlach. We have here either a Bf 109 G-6/R2 or a G-8, camouflage being inconclusive to decide which variant.

Since you provided us with another shot of "Weisse 1" in post Nr. 1159, and thanks to Franck Benoiton and David Weiss over on Bf 109 from Anton to Toni Group, FB, location is now known to be Schongau, 65 km south-west of Munich; the church to be seen on the background is the Sankt Michael Basilica in Altenstadt-Schongau.

Thanks !

Marc

Hi Blueberry,

Thank you for posting this fine photo (Post #1436). However, the merest corner of a IV.-Gruppe wave is visible in the photo, probably making this a 15./IV./JG 4 aircraft.

Respectfully,

Steve Sheflin

The usual eBay seller strikes again with selling NARA photos “lifted” on the web...

What you see is the forward edge of the horizontal tailplane. Aircraft of IV./JG 4 had the wave painted over the black-white-black fuselage bands.

Thanks Gerhard, good information there.

Hello Roger,
Reference your Post #1441, the short answer is, I have no idea! I just copied what I had entered in my database file and regurgitated it. Sadly, I neglected to document my source for that part of my data.
One of the reasons I so enjoy posting here is because of the opportunity it presents to learn from others and correct my files.
Respectfully,

By way of a bit of background which might support this, HW5/569 records the ferrying of a number of Hs 129s to Babenhausen in a message d/d 23/8/44 which was almost certainly meant for Fliegerzielgeschwader 3.
