Bf 109 lying in a river (Luxembourg?)
Hello from Luxembourg,
I found back this picture from a Bf 109 in a small river. The person who gave it to me told me that it must be somewhere in Luxembourg during the campaign of 1940. I have no idea where it could be or who was the pilot. If anyone can help or has similar pictures of it, perhaps we could identify it. John |

The badge might be the one of JG 26 "Schlageter"

Re: Bf 109 lying in a river (Luxembourg?)
The blow-up reveals my mistake - the german type "S" partially submerged turns out to be the tiny air intake and opening characteristic for the Bf109E. Sorry - I declare the speculation open again

Hehe, Franck. You see the airscoop and the hole for the engine start hand crank. :-)

Did I? I was starting thinking I's not able to see something anymore! Don't worry Roland I's just kidding, you show enough knowledge elsewhere...
Tschüss, Franck. |
