Which is more likely Ihlefeld machine, isn't it?

Still one "unknown" JFS

Cheers, Franck.

The first photo, I think, is of a machine that belonged to Herbert Ihlefeld who was Gr.Kdr. of I./JG 77, and which was acquired by Baer when he replaced Ihlefeld as Gr.Kdr. of said unit (~May-42?). Bf 109F-4 WNr. 7555. Not JG 51 - there is a nice piece of film of Ihlefeld taxiing in and turning the machine for the camera to give a nice portside view from the old 'Hunters in the Sky' series from Discovery Channel (?), or some US cable channel from 15+ years ago. SKZ only for the Ihlefeld view. Both pilots had about the same number of claims at the time as I recall.

I remember two rudder shots of this machine in one of older 'Revi' issues.
thenelm - do you know where the film you've described can be found?
