Many many thanks Unikum!

I'm unfortunately in a work phase which leaves me with no time to carry on my Flickr page... I'll be back with more information at the beginning of November.

Cheers

Dear all!

I just uploaded a serie of new pics of late war Bf 109's. High among them is a shot of crash landed Bf 109 K-4 "Gelbe 20", III./JG 53:

I remember the authenticity of this picture has been disputed because of the "body" seen in the cockpit which condition did not match the thoroughly degraded state of the wreck, with its swastika already hacked out, among others... IMHO, the picture is genuine, and there is a person sitting for the pic in the cockpit who moved his head at the wrong moment...

Any suggestions? Any more details as to which particular machine? Any W.Nr.? Good challenges there to start a great 2013;-))

Cheers
Marc

Hi gang,

Another issue arises: where was this well known serie shot? My current guess is Erla Leipzig. Any confirmation would be much appreciated!

Just commented on this in the photostream but I'll repeat it here, I rather believe WNF for three reasons:

1. Camouflage looks more like WNF than Erla
2. I believe that by the summer of 1944 Erla used the tall tails on their G-6's
3. The setup looks different from the photos I've seen from Erla taken in 1943.

Cheers! / Anders

Many thanks Anders! I was ill at ease with Erla too, but the camouflage patterns between Erla and WNF at that time are too close for me to tell...
