Hi gents,

Never seen that one:

1: Is it new?
2: Is it Hötting?

Regards, Franck.

Salut Franck!

According Dan O'Connell's analysis posted on LEMB, this plane could be a Stab./JG 7 machine. The pic is taken at Innsbruck, positively identified as such.

Definitely Innsbruck-Hötting. Blasienberg (Mt. St.Blaise) is in the background; view is from northeast looking southwest.
Concerning the jet ist max be also one of the ex-I./JG51 (red tailtip with white trim?) machines.

Bonjour Marc & Roland,

Thank you both of you:
Marc; for the link!!!!
Roland to confirm the place - for which I had/have no many doubts, except I have/had NOT this one in my datas.
Roland, I agree for an ex-I./JG 51 machine but when you say "one of the ex-I./JG 51 machines" does it mean there was others? And do you mean ex-I./KG 51 instead of JG?
Last, in order to help people I join an aerial view of contemporary (1945) Hötting airfield.
1/ Someone able to point where was this present machine?
2/ It will be good to get a larger view of that picture - is it possible?

Thanks for comments and help.

Regards, Franck.

PS: don't forget my question: "is it a new picture?"
.... and here is the aerial view I was talking about...

Terrible typo - of course KG 51.
Remember "Black L", 9K+FH on southern bavarian airstrips.
This one seems to be parked close to the poplar alley in the north of Hötting airfield.

You're forgiven Roland!
Infortunately that place is in the back ground of the picture I put!
Is you're natural language english or german???
Cheers, Franck.

OK Roland,
Thanks for your quick answer!!! I start to get the figure... We talk later!
Tschüss, Franck.

Gents,

That aircraft, White 1, WNr.1133xx, is certainly a JV 44 aircraft. It was abandoned about 30 metres to the left of White 12 and orientated similarly (forward to the north). It has appeared in the background of several photos in the past - you just have to know where to look.

Cheers,

David

Thank you David,

So, White 12 nose is pointed towards the Zirl road - eg poplar alley - and the mountain in the background - eg south-western part - are Blasienberg (Mt. St.Blaise) said Roland.

Sorry to insist David but I try to point - since long - all the planes on one Hötting map, using the relative position of one plane to another one and using the (small) aerial picture I have on which it's quite impossible to see the said planes and the wooden barracks (Zirl road/northern part).
In the mean time, the Me 262s in the foreground of my picture are easy to count; that means - for me - there were more Me 262s in Hötting than all the figure I've read on forums (TOCH & LEMB since it's my only reference, having no "bible") until today.

Regards, Franck.

I forgot: "White 1" ?

Hello Franck,

"white 12" is photographed from west looking to the east. To the right is "Berg Isel"(Mt.Isel).
Wooden barracks and hangars (Hötting was a glider airfield) are visible in your photo. The famous Ju 87D-7 of NSGr 9 was parked there with several jets (e.g.111857) surrounding it.
Concerning "White 1". I think Dan is mistaking above "1" - colour unknown - with "White 1" (number on fuselage nose) mistakenly having landed at Innsbruck-Reichenau a/f, the then civil airport of Insbruck.

Regards

Roland
