Last, a very old auction (December 2009) (see attachment). Of course the fuselage is so bended that it was impossible to read the "1", hence my caption.

OK, except III./ZG 26 another solution? Any idea about that roll accident? there is another wing on ground Under (behind) "Gelbe 12" starboard wing, I think two Bf 109s were involved.

Regards, Franck.

Franck,

After further information and consideration, this incident took place at Böblingen Airfield, Germany, shortly after I./JGr126 and I/ZG76 moved there on 3 November 1939. The main a/c, in what was apparently a ground collision, was obviously a 100% write off. Note that the trees still haven't lost all their leaves so it can't be much later in the year than early November. Unfortunately the Luft QM records provide no ID of this specific incident for either unit. If anyone has any information that can put an exact date, and, even better, a pilot with this incident, your info would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that this could be a collision between two Bf109D-1 a/c from I./JGr126, or an a/c of that unit with a Bf110C of I./ZG76.

As always when one is having a clear out of images one comes across something interesting: another of Yellow 12 this time from a distance. Notice on the other machines how the wing BK's are covered over, I take this to indicate that this was taken the Polish Campaign.This image was from five others of the same unit one marked 'Pinnow Schwerin' and another 'Bonninghardt' I think both peacetime shots. All the other images have the yellow spinner of 3./JGr126 and the white cockerel emblem.

Great find!! Also you can see that the badly crushed spinner is most probably yellow too.
