Re: Bf 109K Data Plate Location
One more step in the documentation of Erla-produced K-4's. These fuselages appear to be the Erla produced K-4/R6 type. Please note the arrows indicating the MW hatch on the starboard side and the Erla-type bulge on the port side of two of the fuselages. Also, the fact the photo was taken near Plauen probably indicates the assemblies were on their way to an Erla assembly facility.
Photo caption: "...photograph...taken on April 17, 1945, near Plauen, Germany, reveals at least fifty fuselages which failed to reach their final assembly point." Note: The attached photo is from Messerschmitt "O-Nine Gallery", by Thomas Hitchcock, Monogram Aviation Publications, 1973(OOP), page 16.
