Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Dear Gentlemen,

I am sorry to ask a maybe foolish question, but i visit this wonderful thread since one year and I could not watch the flickr pictures. If i click on the link there is a message on flickr "this content is not avaiable for you" Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

The first basic question is "do you have a Yahoo/Flickr account?".... If not, you have to register.

Regards, Franck.

That´s not the problem, Franck.
You can register as many times as you want at Yahoo/FlickR here in Germany - "this content is not available for you", i.e. you are not allowed to watch photographs with swastikas. Some kind of homemade censorship. I tried dozens of times to bypass this blockade - with no success :-(

AH OK Roland!

Didn't know. Sorry Matthias.... Use a VPN, like we do in China!..

In the mean time, David's site is displaying Swastika and Hartmann sites either; aren't they?

Means if Yahoo/Flickr was German born and based in Germany Marc would have the possibility to write: "This is an historical site and we don't pretend to defend any political bla bla bla ..." that's it?

Did you both try to change your internet options, changing german language for English language in the tool box??? This happened for some eBay stuffs and we made it ...

Regards, Franck.

Yep, after re-installing my OS some weeks ago I lost the ability to access Marc's album, too Tried language resetting, proxy IP sites, different ZIP codes in the registration - nothing works any more. Very sad; perhaps Flickr will change its policy in the future ...

On topic: While browsing on the web I found this picture (unknown to me) of an Erla-built (?) G-14/AS or G-10 from II./JG 3: It seems to originate from a Soviet source, so possibly the crash happened somewhere in Pomerania or Mecklenburg. Note the striking resemblancies with well-known Bf 109 G-10 490137 "White 14", which landed at Rinkaby, Sweden on 24 April 1945...Well, hopefully one more for the collection.

Cheers,
Christian

Hmmm...for some reason the forum software won't display the link. So here is the photo attached:

Nice find Christian! Thanks.
....
Few weeks ago Yahoo/Flickr was in big trouble. I had to change my registration too (mail address, name and so on. Didn't accept my old password anymore; specially Flickr.)

Remember Yahoo was deeply concerned by that last "Bleed heart" security failure ...

Regards, Franck.

Hello Christian and Franck,

The presence of its oil filler hatch in the lower position suggests that 12+ - black is probably a G-14/AS.

Just (re)discovering your connection troubles coming out of a camel borne trip in Wadi Rum, Jordan. I can't add anything intelligent about those troubles: the account owner obviously can't do anything about Flickr's policy...which dirsen't even inform the owner that he is flagged...

As for your great find, Christian, I concur with Steve: it is an Erla built Bf 109 G-14/AS. The W.Nr. Digits can be faintly seen above the tail swastika.. Great find, thanks!

Cheers
Marc

Hmmm ... How Jorg do succeed to comment photos in your Flickr page then? Is he not german living in Germany? And he is not the only one....

Welcome back Marc!
