Hi gents,

LG 2 ??? Just a guess, nothing sure. Red or Brown 12 ...

From same seller:

LG2 seems very likely, the diagonal demarcation between the yellow on the nose and the camouflage was afaik only used (with variations) by III./JG3 and I.(J)/LG2. As it's obviously not 9./JG3 aircraft I believe 3./LG2 should be it.

Wissant is far away from JG2's operation area.

... but I.(J)/LG 2 is at Calais-Marck, very close from Wissant !

According to Prien & al, 3.(J)/LG2 suffer loss on 29/10/40 Bf109 E-7, Wk 2032 20% Bruchlandung Wissant 20 %

LG 2 René, not JG 2...

Yes, I agree, 3.(J)/LG 2, Braune 12.

Cheers, Franck.

Sorry misread JG2 instead of JG3.

No problemo!

@Bertrand, OK could be that one, if 3.(J)/LG2. (If the loss list is complete!!!)
If 2.(J) there is another one on 27-Sept-1940, still 20% in Wissant which appears to be a good figure.
But since "micky mouse" wasn't always clear I stay with your educated guess!

BR, Franck.
