Re: Györ-built Bf 109 G-6 picture

Hello All

Many thanks Marc!
I don't see any Hungarian cross?? But there is another WNr. on the picture; right in the first G-6 antenna loop. Somebody with a piercing eye may be??

Now here is a choice of the same photographer pictures, not only LW planes but not bad too:

Salut Franck,

Thanks for your fine choice of pics from Yevegueny Khaldei. How can you obtain links for the slightly more high-res links. Do you have to be registered?

As for the other Wnr to be seen framed by the D/F loop of the machine in the front, I blew the pic up to 1000%; I could almost see the numbers 4x8735, but I will never swear on it!

Cheers
Marc

Bonjour mon Cher,

Yes I did it just because I'm curious... You have to put a name in the "company" window. After that you have access to the same picture without the Corbis logo. Last they give you a link to the next Corbis delegate near your home and, thanks who you want, it's just by me in Matosinhos, 10km from home! I will try tomorrow monday.

Cheers,
Franck.

Re: Györ-built Bf 109 G-6 picture

Steve,

I strained my eyes again and am concurring for your W.Nr proposal: 4?0735. Given those numerals, the only possible production batch for the G-6 subtype is in the 410'000 - 411'000 range, built by Erla.

Rasmussen,

Thanks for your information, you make my day. Any chance to scan this second picture as I do not have "Under the red Star" by C.-F. Geust?

Cheers
Marc

Re: Györ-built Bf 109 G-6 picture

It could also be from WNF 440'000 range. Considering the different wrk.nr ranges it just have to be an advanced repairfacility. The aircraft seem to have been re-fitted with tall tails and repainted as they seem to have uniform paintjobs and a uniform style for the Wrk.Nr'n even though the Wrk.Nr'n are from different ranges and factories.

I don't have any closer location than what was written in the book and cited earlier, sorry.

Cheers! / Anders

Hi Anders,

You're of course right! How could I miss this WNF production block for the G-6/U 4 subtype?

Thanks for the pointer!

Cheers
Marc
