Hi everyone!

#3 Ju 88 A of I/KG 30 "4D+Rx" but version A-1/5 or 4 hard to say. Remindes me of similar force landing in either Finland or Sweden.

Re: Help identifying pictures from Norway

Thanks for the interesting Bf109E shots. Looks like a 1.Staffel aircraft "white 12" which has what seems to be a cartoon style pilot's head drawn on the fuselage under the cockpit. 1./JG 77 had white numbers outlined in black but I'm not sure it is the correct unit in this case.

Thanks!
Guess this one is a tuff one to identify then.
It`s too bad we cant`t see the rest of the code.

Although I think this is from the Northern area in Europe somewhere, the trees tell us that.

Hi Göran!
Yes the pictures are indeed interesting and it would be fun to identify this aircraft.
If this was the 1./JG 77 they had a period in Norway?
Do you know when and were?
Maybe the loss list`s could tell us something.
The house and surroundings could also be to help if we could pin point the area..

Thanks !

Re: Help identifying pictures from Norway

Hi John,
Thanks to the air scoop it's a Bf 109 E!!!
Or Jgr. Drontheim. Let's try this one:
Bf 109E-7, 4.(Eins.)/JFS 3, WNr. 5163, Pilot Hammesfahr, Friedrich "Fritz". Uffz., Weisse 12, Fla/ Halsanaustan, Halsa, 30km ESE of Kristiansund.
Infortunately I haven't the rate of damage ... If it's more than 20% it's not that one.
But it's the only Weisse 12 I have on 2/12/1941.
Hope it's the good one. If not Forget what I wrote.
Cheers, Franck.
PS: Since the pilot's name is given ... I have doubts whatever.

Hello,
I have the Hamesfahr machine, Werknummer 5163 as 80% damaged. The description of his crash landing in in my book, Die Jäger der Graf Zeppelin.
