Re: BF 109G-10 77022. New gen
Ferdinando, of course when I wrote I meant all three authors.
I don't know how to translate into English the Italian "vostro" otherwise than with "your". Roberto told me that he had received documents from you and, on the other hand, in his book that report is transcribed with more detail than on page 214 of Air War Italy. I wonder if it would be more appropriate if Roberto had mentioned in the "Documenti consultati" also the source of them (by the way is also my problem ...), but this is not relevant to the present discussion. If I referred to Risano-Tissano is only because this airport had already been mentioned several times. Marc, I know the area very well because, as you know, I live a few miles away. Among other things just on Risano runaway I made my first solo flight in the early 70s. Of course there were many dispersal tracks all around but the majority were north of the railway Udine-Venice, in the triangle between Udine, Villaorba and Osoppo. I don't know dispersal areas around Lavariano except Aiello airfield which was about 15 km to the south east and that, however, was a subsidiary of Gorizia airport. Returning to the possible places where the photo could have been taken, I think that it may be the the airfield of Ainring in the Berchtesgaden area (Berchtesgaden had no landing groud). On Geoff Walden's site, "Third Reich in ruins" in Misc Buildings Part 3 http://www.thirdreichruins.com/miscbldgs3.htm are shown the sites in the area of Berchtesgaden and among these there is also a picture of the main building in the airport of Ainring-Mitterfelden. If you look on Google Earth at the coordinates 47°48'49.00"N 12°57'36.00"E, you can find that building that now is the Police Station. (Under the photos there is a link to Mapquest that leads exactly on the main building of the former airport). No trace remains of the old runaway and of the other airport areas but is possible that it was oriented east-west between the river Saalach and Ainring. That embankment visible in the picture may be the bank of the river as is evident also in Google Earth. |
