Location of this Luftwaffe graveyard?
Hi there Gang,
I wonder where this excellent shot was taken; München - Riem? http://www.flickr.com/photos/2786225...n/photostream/ Thanks for your expertise! Cheers Marc |

Hi Marc,
Thanks for posting this great new photograph. Unless I am mistaken, this was taken at Neubiberg, albeit from a different angle than most published so far. Steve Sheflin |

Photo not new. Published in Wings of the Black Cross Number Five with much greater clarity.

728 stencilled on the Me 262 fuselage, I think. Dan O'Connell has 111728 "found unpainted at Neubiberg."

Nick is right, it's 111728 at Neubiberg before a 109 got dumped on top of it.

FWIW, Japo states Bf 109 G-10/U4, "Yellow 12", W.Nr. 612769 of 101. vadaszezred.

Re: Location of this Luftwaffe graveyard?
The colour of that particular Hungarian Bf 109G-10 is subject to intense debate. Some suggested to be yellow, others red, or even blue.
Based on the comparison of the known colours visible on the aircraft, I personally believe the number was none of these colours, but rather grey (replacing white). A colour photo, or period description of the camo colours would settle de debate.
