Yup, this is the famous rig with the damaged left wing Fw 190.

A couple of thoughts about the belly-landed Ju 87 D-5:

• The Alpine location is consistent with the last days of NSG 9, when some of its aircraft did not complete their withdrawal from Thiene to Innsbruck.
• The camouflage looks like NSG 9's characteristic scheme.
• The white spinner with narrow spiral doesn't.
• There is a yellow individual letter on the starboard side which at first I took for a C or G (but E8+GL is already accounted for, backed into the barn at Innsbruck).
• The 17 on the tail would be consistent with 3./NSG 9's earlier incarnation as 2./NSG 2, in which case 17 = Q. So maybe E8+QL. However, I'm not sure these numbers survived the application of NSG 9 camouflage once the unit arrived in Italy and was renamed.
• MG 151/20 barrel on the port wing but apparently missing from the starboard.

Hi Nick,

Here’s another shot of this aircraft. Unfortunately, no info on the location:

The RVB tailband looks to be white-black, hence a I./JG 26 machine in Northern Germany ?
