This one http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...7625539886908/ is another case of a red spot on a white fuselage band, followed by a wave marking = IV./JG 3 in summer/autumn 1943.

This suggests that it could be one or other of the two such "black 3" found in Southern Italy:
Bf 109 G-6, W.Nr. 18512, Black 3 + red spot and “wave” (previous marking SI+UY) found at Foggia main aerodrome.

Bf 109 G-6, W.Nr. 19461,Black 3 + red spot and “wave” found at Lecce/San Donato.
The only question mark for me would be the white outline to the "3" which is not mentioned in the reports from Italy.

Certainly mine is an useless question, but maybe my English simply isn't good enough to understand properly... Marc, when you wrote "...to flush out all remaining pictures", you didn't mean "to delete" them, but simply to move them to a section devoted to the (yet) unidentified images, didn't you?

Just to understand and for my peace of mind... thanks.

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Caro Ferdinando,

You got me right! My work those last two days was to sort out through all pictures I've uploaded; I've deleted all the ones who were uploaded twice from two different sources, and I've done a real effort to give minimal legends to all remaining pictures.

I've also checked a fair amount - but not all yet! - of pictures found on the net against the publications of my library, in order to give a precise anchoring for any researcher.

Still some work to go through, but I'm in a time issue toward two archaeological publications, so this won't be finished before...August.

Tanti saluti
Marc

Well, in my experience of it, it's better than many English people seem to manage!

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Hi there Gang,

I've just uploaded two pictures of a Bf 109 G from an unknown unit, found derelict at Brussels Melsbroek in late September 1944.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...in/photostream
http://www.flickr.com/photos/2809206...in/photostream

This machine sports a very dark two tones camouflage which brings us back on other, later - mainly Erla built - Bf 109 G-10 in the W.Nr. 150'000 - 152'000 range. For 1944, I'm not aware of any Bf 109 camouflaged in such dark color beyond the lone Bf 109 G-6/AS "Grüne 5", piloted by Oblt. Manfred Dieterle, 2./Erg. JG 2, at Ludwigslust, in December 1944.

Does one of you guys have informations on any other Bf 109 G camouflaged in such dark hues in August or early September 1944? As for this particular machine, I would be grateful for any other information, especially it's unit and subtype.

Thanks in advance
Marc

Hi there gang's boss!

I am going to say a stupid thing but the following one is in same range and it's a Schwarze 7 too. Of course the mountains in background don't make us think to Belgium; whatever ...
And I didn't say it's the same plane; just an element of possible answer.

JG 27 sounds strange with that similingly Yellow band.
Cpt Farrels did make a profile of a G-10, "Schwarze 13" displaying such dark (two tones) camouflage and such yellow band talking about a JG 11 aircraft.

Cheers, Franck.
