Ed,

There are actually two objects, each suspended under the wings inboard of the engine nacelles. Could they be parachute supply containers? Given the camouflage and surrounding mountains, the pic might have been taken in the Balkans? Too early a stage in the war to have "RATOG", I believe.

Cheers
Marc

Hi both of you,

Thanks Ed! What would be TOCH without you?
Actually, seller wrote "luftminen" what I understand by mines drop by plane.
And I agree with Marc; it seems to me that "minen" are situated between engine nacelle and fuselage, both sides. Only a perspective effect.

Cheers, Franck.

If these are indeed Luftminen, they are suspended from the inner starboard rack and the outer port rack; the outer stbd bomb rack is empty and the object on the left side is too far from the centerline to be symmetrical.

D-EDLM is a German Tiger Moth:
