Some new Brunnthal pictures (?)

[F19Gladiator]

Marc, Thank you! I don't believe the colour shot is from Brunnthal.
Ed, I have no problem with you not sharing data on Brunnthal as I understand you obviously have woved not to share it. There is enough out there from open sources to entertain my own hobby You still owe me an apology though.

Thanks Ed for Neubiberg; very interesting!

Marc, the colour photo you've posted in Post #9 was published in a cropped version on the back cover of Mark Proulx, Wings of the Balck Cross #3. No location for the shot given. I have not found any further info on this photo in later issues.

Hi Marc,

there is also a possibility that this color photo was taken at Ingolstadt-Manching. The Ju 88 with the dark camo looks like a plane from 3./NJG 101 and, if you believe some photo captions, at least two other planes of this unit were captured there...

Just my two cents

Hi Guys,

Back to the "right" thread!!

The second photo is obviously a rear view of WNr.111747, taken in a forest.
Since 5 years I'm reading those posts and threads, either in TOCH or in LEMB, I've never read that plane was FOUND in Brunnthal but in Hofoldinger Wald, like Weisses F and like "Weisse 9" WNr.11617.
That it has been scraped in Brunnthal like the others is another story.

Regards, Franck.

PS: Back to "Brunnthal Research" fight ??? Again ??? Come on ...

Here you can see the position of "Hofoldinger Forst" or "Hofoldinger Holz" which means "Forest of (the village) Hofolding" between Brunnthal and Hofolding:

Thanks Göran and Christian! The Mancing connection is of interest. I'm pretty sure I've seen that Ju 88 G "??+OL" with its dark crisscross camp pattern somewhere already. Will try to find out where...

Franck,

You're right about the Hofoldinger Forst; if I'm not mistaken, Brunnthal is on the southern edge of that forest, that's why all dispersed planes along the Munich-Salzburg Autobahn were collected together...in Brunnthal;-))

Cheers
Marc

Hello again Marc,

Regarding the darkly-camouflaged Ju88G in the color shot, I too would love to know where these aircraft were found. Also, you identify it as __+OL. Perhaps it is the result of my old eyes, but I have always thought that it was __+DL instead. Perhaps some of our members with younger eyes can clarify this point for us.

Ah! Thank you Marc, I didn't lose my time then !
That means there was no Brunnthal scrapyard without Hofoldinger forest dispersal first !!

Regards, Franck.

Hi all,

the color photo was photographed in Munich-Riem or Schleissheim airfield. (On the back side of the photo was written "Reim"; source: german magazin Jet&Prop - years ago)

The Me262A Werknummer 111747 from JV44:
Two points that argue against the location Brunnthal, our knowledge today:
The entrances and exits to the highway Munich-Salzburg (here: exit Hofolding and auxiliary exit Brunnthal ) were cleared from shrubs and bushes wider. Before this Me262 the road makes a long bow to the highway. All other roads run straight to the highway, not in a bow like this street with aircraft.
Other Photos of Brunnthal (dispersal area, highway and scrapyard) show neither the 111747 nor the wreckage of the aircraft.
