Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Would love to know it, Oberst. Unfortunately, no clues on the photos as the WNF W.Nr. on the rudder was painted over in yellow.
Cheers Marc |

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
I found these two W.Nr.'s in JG 52 logs:
W.Nr. 610 527, 18/2/45, II./JG 51 W.Nr. 610 529, 27/1/45, II./JG 51 Possible 'Rosemarie' candidates. Last edited by Oberst; 21st October 2011 at 19:33. Reason: gave reason for W.Nr.'s.... |

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Nice finds! I don't think the Wrk.Nr for Blue 3 is correct though. 413607 would have had a tall tail and the extra bulge below the regular bulge for the Mg131's. The camo looks more like WNF or possibly Mtt.Regensburg.
Cheers! / Anders |

Thus, such little bulge (along with its small airscoop) had sense only for the G-5. Unfortunately such version was built in much lower numbers than foreseen, while the modified cowls were apparently built at a much more "enthusiastic" rate. The net result was that they were available in much greater numbers than the G-5s, so - not to waste material - it was decided to use them in late G-6/early G-14 batches (which chronologically were being produced when such occurrence happened...). After all, the same happened a little later with the "double-chinned" (horrible English term, I know) lower engine cowls which, being available in great numbers at MTT Regensburg, were applied on their G-14/ASs though there was no necessity at all of any "chin bulge" on that sub-type.

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Thanks Ferdinando, I started writing something similar but it sounded wrong so I deleted it. I know that it's a leftover from G-5 production but I couldn't put together a good explanation as I was in a hurry.

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Little more info I dug up:
Me 109G-10 W.Nr.'s 610 300 - 610 600, delivered mid jan./45 to II./JG 51(jan 6/45) and II./JG 52(jan 12/45). JG 51 was disbanded on 12.4.45 (Fels am Wagram airbase). |

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
Thanks Ferdinando for tidying our G-14 knowledge; decidedly a tough variant to recognize, even more so with intermeshed W.Nr. In the 165xxx-166xxx and 413xxx blocks.
Yo napot kivanok Dénes, You have to get a Flickr account, then it should work. Oberst, I hope you will finally unearth "Rosemarie"'W.Nr! Thanks for ur efforts. And greetings to all from Lebanon! Marc |
