Bf 109 G "yellow 16" belly landing

[Falcon]

Hello,

I got two photos via emil in bad quality (very low resolution scan) of a belly landed Bf 109 G (tall rudder, Erla-hood, long tail wheel). Less damage, IMHO ~15%. It's a "Yellow 16", there IS a poor horizontal bar visible. The cowling line is not clear visible, can be a AS or a normal bulged cowling.
It got a sign on the cowling, poor visible. Most possible with size and position is the heart in a check from the JG 77. For a JG 53 Pik-As is it IMHO to small.

On the back of the photos I can read:
"Die gelbe 16
Bauchgelandet am 26.12.1944
Ober-Fähnrich Stopwasser"

The name is not clear to read.

The owner tell me the pictures where taken at the Herford area.

I try to get better scans of the photos, but it will take some weeks.

Greetings,
Flc

Thanks for the information, Falcon;

Could you - if possible - post already the low res scans you have? I'm most interested…

Thanks in advance
