Excellent, Rémi !

You caught one of those Erla and WNF built Bf 109 G-6 with RLM 02 blotches applied over their factory camouflage:

Your pic seems to be taken before surrender; it is thus unique.

Cheers

Correction Rémi: it is actually W.Nr. 20 790 and it is shot at Fassberg after surrendering

Cheers

Re: Very nice photo of a late war Me 109

Bonjour Marc-André,

I have in my files a photo taken by a german pilot (end 1944 or early 45) when he was in a fighter school.

Here is a low resolution scan of this photo.

The 109 has a tall tail, the number "256" painted on the fuselage below the cockpit, the Werknummer "?4872" on the rudder and... the same camouflage with small spots on the fuselage and the tail.

upper surface of G6 WNr 20790 Fassberg

Bonjour,

An old ebay auction of WNr 20790. The interest of this photo is to show the upper surface of one of the wing.

Regards.

Re: Very nice photo of a late war Me 109

Dear Remi,

is it possible that number "256" belongs to JG 106, and this
picture was taken between 8. Feb. and 28. Februar 1945 on
airfield Mengen?

Thank you for sharing this!

Herzliche Grüsse aus Oberschwaben,

Wolfgang
