14/03 - Bf109s on eBay

[ouidjat]

Hi there,

Only two pictures tonight; I use to wait a little but the "hunt" is funny.
1. http://cgi.ebay.de/G163-Flugzeug-Me1...item3cb5fefa1b
Passchendaele = Passendale; South of Ypres. JG 26? ...
2. http://cgi.ebay.de/2-WK-FOTO-ME-109-...item3cb604d7c5
This one is more easy: 8./JG 53 (Wide yellow band is enough) or Prien JFV, Teil 6/II page 153. Before getting this info, I had two "guesses"; Karl Witzel or Rudolf Müller.
Many F-2 lost with these two guys during the same period (roughly) and, at least, three Schwarze 6.

Two questions:
1/ Do we see victory markings on picture 2 ?? (Should be simple then)
2/ 27/8/1941 is the date for Witzel plane's loss. No crops around?? Already harvested ? But the field seems to be ploughed, not harvested.

Though, obviously, the plane situation is close to the 80% described.

Any other comments?

Regards, Franck.
