About "Black 3" at Halle

"601090" or "601095", black or blue (Or maybe even some other colour?!)



I certainly don't see how the last digit could be '0'. PS Smart Sharpen used.

But what about the tactical markings?




JaPo's book mentions that the markings couldn't have been blue (Or any other colour), because 8./JG 6 outlined their markings in blue, although some points remain:

- Since this is a replacement/remarked bird, there isn't any guarantee that there was any time or interest to outline the markings (This is of course contrasted by "211094" 'Blue 2' that also seems to have been remarked, but outlined in white, but shape being barely distinguishable).

- 8./JG 6 planes seem to have had their markings done very precisely, while '3' here looks like priority was more or less being discernible (But again, definitely not any guarantee).

Quote from FalkeEins blog below: (E: I just want to point out that to my knowledge, this is not confirmed information!)

..annotation on the rear of Jim Crow's original vet photo says 'blue 3'
Any thoughts?
