Hi,
Thanks Rudi for this link.
A G-6/R2 of what I believe to be a 2./NAGr.15 machine, with Red code.
Regards,
Franck.

Actually a WNF built G-8. Great find, thanks RudiS.

Eh no, except if you have a loss record all in WNF 230000 to 230900 are G-6/R2 except some, very few.

PS: Update. JCM in his Bf109, Caraktère publish. gives the following listing: G-6/R2: 230100, 230801. and G-8 230100, 230120 (?)
Note (2) Michael Balss gives – loss list – the following
230132 G-8/R5
230155 (?) G-8
230292 G-8/R5
230801 G-8/R2

Thanks for the corrections/precisions, Franck ! Much appreciated. Further to that, the loss list compiled by George Morrison et al. has two close W.Nr.'s: 230500 and 230502. They are both listed as G-6's.

Cheers
Marc

If it helps, W.Nr. 230500, "65" (Ofhr. Karl-Heinz Pieper) was lost by 3./NAG 1 on 11 February 1945 and is described in ULTRA CX/MSS/R461(C),16 as a G-6.

Thank you Nick.
This does confirm the loss report in GQM (767/2, 2; Lw.Kdo.West)
Regards,
Franck.

Thank you for both links Rudi.
The He111 was found at Hötting, while the Fw190 at Insbruck-Reichenau; the Me262 behind being "Weisse 8".
Regards,
Franck.

Correction: "Weisse 1", indeed.
