Hello,

... I forgot one important point: we can see - even READ IT - the overpainted White 5, from the former White 15 this plane did wear in 1./JG 2, in front of the Yellow(!) 5.

Regards, Franck.

I think you are right Franck. And a color photo of this dark yellow 5 over a nearest rectangular washed camouflaged area published page 247 of the excellent book on JG2 (volume 1) by Erich Mombeeck.

Bonsoir Bertrand,

Thank you; I started to think no one had a minimum interest with that "thing"...
Mr. Claes Sundin did good interprating the colour number as being -better use the right word - brown!

May be a little scan of the picture you are talking about, Hmmm?

Bonnes fêtes Bertrand.

Regards, Franck.

Hi gents,

coming back on that "Braune 5" - here is Prien comment in JFV, Teil 4.I, page 142.

Though I don't understand the full sentence in its details, I think this confirms my guess... Am I wrong?

Regards, Franck.

It seems the auction on the Machold plane has expired and is no longer visible. Could someone repost the picture?

Thanks
