Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Yellow rudder, white outlined red individual aircraft letter, spiral spinner - all hallmarks of a, new to me, Rote E of 2./NSGr.10

Only issue I can see is the location, Mainz-Finthen, far too far west for 2./NSGr.10 - are we certain (I know it’s based on the location of the 88G-6) that's correct?

Good call, and the single-letter code (or at least one visible letter) fits.

I think the Werk Nummer could be 412311 but enlarging the picture doesn't make it any clearer.

True (others were seen in Bavaria/Austria, weren't they?) but then again planes can move about!
