To my knowledge the external fuel tanks of any size on Bf 110 were not droppable.

Why edit out the website details of a very good publication? Yet it's OK to copy and upload the page of the publication?? If more people here bought and read it, and other more serious Luftwaffe books, then there would be far fewer daft uniformed remarks

OK a contributor further up has correctly identified (by reading the accompanying text....always helps before making daft remarks) the aircraft is coded 5D+BL and the therefore the unit is 3.(H)/31 (3.(H)/Auf.Kl.Gr. 31 or Aufklärungsgruppe 31) a long distance high level reconnaissance unit...

Yes, Bf 109 Fs Black 1, Black 3 and Black 5, probably more but the Kagero profile is of Black 12. Also Fw 190A-4's. More images

Once again relying on dodgy inaccurate profiles can lead to problems. Photo's, below, of Klöpper's actual aircraft indicate very little relation to Kagero's guesswork. Original photos and quality research is priceless. Sorry but if you rely on cheap books.......

Images of Yellow 12? Yes, I have 13 of different angles, I think it was quite a photogenic wreck!

Bf 109 E-3 6-88 C4E-88 C.5-88 C.4E-88 restoration/rebuild/replica (choose one!) by Robs Lamplough now with Meir Motors now all original material discarded in favour of airworthy new made components. First time I saw this wreck was at the Tangmere Aviation Museum and offered the chance to inspect...

Not sure this helps Bf 109 D-1 W.Nr. 2260 Yellow 10 3./ZG 2 Debica Poland FL 01/10/39

An unfortunate use of the term, however I'm good thank you for the post. I just want to be helpful and with almost 2000 images of Jumo powered Bf 109's I hope I can be

I guess I'll take that as a 'thank you for posting' even the 'useless' one.
