For this 109, photo reverse appears to say Bizerte.

You're correct Mark; alas, we'll never know for sure as Jochen Prien, in his list of 109's found at Bizerte, has no "Schwarzer Winkel kleine 2" registered among the 26 machines listed for Bizerte - Sidi Ahmed airfield.

Cheers

Marc:

FWIW, you identify this as a Bf 109 G-6 found at Comiso, Sicily in your Flickr steam...

I believe it to be a G-4, however.

See JFV 11.2 page 53 and 54. Two II./JG53 Stab machines, side by side, both pictured at La Marsa. G-6s according Jochen Prien.
One "Winkel 2" and this "Winkel 2 -" being one of them.

Franck.

In this image, or others, I am not seeing the aft portion of cowl bulge (characteristic of the G-6) on the fuselage or evidence that one was previously fitted.
