Re: Battle of Britain Bf109E found in India a few years ago?
Peter et al.
The octane triangle was a factory markings, so it would have been applied before any tactical numbers. I think that the Yellow or ? 8 was next. The real question is whether the 5 or the 6 was next, with the other one of those two being the last application that it carried the day it was shot down. This a/c looks to me like it originally carried the 1939-style markings pattern, which was subsequently updated to the 1940-style, with a mottle added in the later summer of fall of 1940. Regards, Larry
