captured german planes in color

[ChristianK]

Prien and Rodeike (in their Bf 109 F,G,K study) give the introduction date of these wings/main wheels as "end of 1944".
BTW: "Yellow 11" could off course also be a G-8 variant! Werknummer range 200... would fit the observations made by Janowicz, too. Did not think of this in my first post..

Hello everyone,

I have quite a few additional shots of this 109. I have it listed as:

Bf109G-6/R2, WNr. 230785, 11+ Y, from an unknown NAG.

Hi Guys,

nothing to say except:
Thanks Steve, Remi & Christian!...
And thank to me, too, since, some times, we have to use "Forceps" to get the right answer !!!! .

If I dare, that "Rollschaden" in March 1945 woud explain that wing change... some kind of a confirmation of that plane identity.

Cheers, Franck.

...... Hum ...
last, One colour profile of that plane has been made by Anders Hjortsberg times ago (in his old profile page)....

Tschuss.
