Late war Bf 109 pictures source

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Hi there Gang,

Today's finds are a real Christmas gift: we have three more photos taken in late 1945 from the II./JG 52 and 101 Vadaszezred planes surrendered 8 May 1945 at Fl.Pl. Neubieberg, near Munich.

Two are particularly interesting.

The first does show Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 61. ... "Gelbe 11" "Gigi", 7./JG 52. This unique WNF built Bf 109 G-10 has an old metal tailplane fitted to its airframe, a makeshift repair to keep it flying. to my knowledge, this is the only right side photo known of this peculiar plane:

The second photo is also the only known to me photo of the right side of WNF built Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 613 165 "Fekete 16", 101 Vadaszsezred:

The third photo does show another Bf 109 G-10 taken at the same - frosty - time and location:

Thanks Marc,
Have we seen the left side before?
Amazingly it has been previously IDed as "Schwarze 7" ! (Represented on a profile)

Cheers,
Franck.

You're welcome, Franck ! Yes, the left side has been published in the JaPo G-10/U4book, p. 69. The "Schwarze 7" is plain to see, probably because of the peeling off of the younger yellow coat for the later applied "Gelbe 11".

Cheers
