If I am not mistaken, the unit was III./JG 3 (see a barely visible double-head battle axe emblem on the engine cowling). The aircraft is BF 109 F-2, and the photo might have been taken in Russia in the summer of 1941.

Re: Picture Bf 109 at Eba
From a former auction place given was Luzk, 22 July 1941.
III./JG3 stood very few days there; 3 days (from 30/6/41 to 2/7/41): Hence we have the choice: - Or the place is Polonnoje where the unit stood for enough long time to "build" a maintenance area. - Or the place is effectively Luzk as attested by former auction and a maintenance area remained there: 22 July for one photo and many other photos of the same area with Stab III./JG3 machines being fixed ... make me think it was the situation. Concerning the photo above ... See attachment. And a Stab machine same place. Regards, Franck. Last edited by ouidjat; 31st May 2019 at 07:05. |

Re: Picture Bf 109 at Eba
Thanks a lot for your informations, Sidney and Franck, I thought this must have been a maintenance aera or a spare part depot, however I did not know where this pic had been taken. It is quite an interesting picture to me.
So I appriciate your informations and wish you a lucky 2017. Cheerio Harry |
