I think I was remembering this one Jan. Bartells' Bf109G-6, 'Red 13', in the Med, end of 1943. Both pics are of this aircraft, nice detail shot of the cannon gondolas, and are from Bundes Archiv, Koblenz. The profile is fro an American 'data file' series, sent to me by Bob, the American Mossie pilot. Yes, Bartells went missing over Bonn, and was found in 1968.
Hope you enjoy plenty of 'Scottish white wine' over Christmas!
Cheerie pip, old fruit!

Interesting. Photo 001 shows the plane having a TROP-type air filter. Doesn't appear in the other illustrations shown.
 
I don't know if this one has been posted before,
