Steve,

You did it once again! A real Christmas gift indeed… Rheine-Hopsten it is. Both machines are probably from the 334 xxx block, given the low-vis Mtt-Bodenwöhr camouflage, as the highest recorded W.Nr. in the 335 xxx block is - to my knowledge - 335 213. I will suggest thus cautiously W.Nr. 334 444 for "Weisse 3" and 334 808 for the background machine.

What other airfields does CEA269 cover?

Many many thanks!
Marc

Hi there Folks, and all the best for 2014!

I just found a very intriguing pic of an Mtt-Regensburg built Bf 109 which I think is a G-14 (note the tall tail wheel strut). I do suppose it belonged to a training unit, given its high "Schwarze 3" tactical number. Wondering if anyone knows the location and the unit?

Thanks in advance!
Marc

Salut Marc,

Schwarze 3 or Schwarze 31 ??
No idea but a Training unit for sure and a G-14 too.
We already found a lot of G-14s in training units with long tail Wheel.

Tschüss from Lausanne! he he he!

If that shocks you, I wouldn't advise visiting Paris.

Hi there Gang,

And all my warm wishes for 2014! I just got hold of a very interesting pic showing an engineless Mtt-Regensburg built Bf 109 G-14 (IMHO, not the least because of its long tail wheel strut), depicted in the winter 1944-1945 somewhere in Germany. Because of its high tactical number, I do tend to think that "Schwarze 31" was part of a training unit.

I would be glad to know more about location and unit.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Marc

It's the only way to put it through... Alas!

Any idea about unit and location?

Thanks in advance

Hi folks,

Over on facebook.com, Rob Paull suggests the Arnhem bridge. After checking out the available photos, this makes sense. And now a far off shot: any Bf 109 losses known in the second half of September 1944 in eyesight of the bridge ?

Thanks in advance
Marc
