A new picture of Bf 109 G-10 "Yellow 66" at Köthen

Hi,

You are confusing Baggage Compartment with Radio Hatch. The baggage compartment is the hatch behind the pilot's head in the cockpit. The radio hatch is one of the fuselage with the first aid kit.

I am referring to the aircraft in the second photo, which does not prove in any way that it is the same aircraft in the first photo (Yellow 66).

As it has a K-4 baggage compartment and NOT G-type, it "appears" to be a K-4 with the secondary gear door covers removed...and not "Yellow 66".

If no evidence exists confirming the 2nd pic (front cockpit shot) IS 100% Yellow 66, then I would suspect it is not - unless one can find a pic that shows both the "66" and this K-4 style baggage compartment (like a 3/4 view from the front), of course...

To date, I have never seen a photo of an Me109 with the K-4 style baggage compartment...or a K-4 with a G style compartment...
