Is there any info on Bf 109E-4, W.Nr. 1313, belonging to Stab II/JG53, it crashlanded at Wissant after combat with fighters over the channel, on Tuesday, September 17th, 1940....?

Just bumping it up....

Wonder if this E-4 of Stab II./JG53 could be the W. Nr. 1313.....

Also got from the No. 315 Squadron book;

Spitfire Mk. II, P7613, PK-Z..
Spitfire Mk. V, AB913, PK-B..
Spitfire Mk. IX, BS513, PK-Z (mentioned this one earlier, nice colour profile in the book)..

Also;

Mustang III, FB113, PK-?, it crashed during training on the 23/01/46 (I was born on that date, 23 years later), any idea when they, No. 315 Squadron, received this Mustang, during the war, was it ever camouflaged, or just natural metal, after the war.....?

I didn't know that.....The Profile Paintshop: Chosing the correct wingpattern for a Bf109G-6

Didn't find exactly which aircraft is identified as W.nr.1313 Jan, don't think it would have been Chevron Triangle as this surely would have been mentioned if the Kommandeur's aircraft had sustained any damage.

Cheers Wayne! Being a bit on the thick side, when it comes to Stab markings, how many different was there?

There were a few different versions and variations depending on time frame and Geschwader...Chevron and triangle or double Chevron in similar but varying shapes were the most common Gruppe Kommandeur markings, then there were Chevrons with circles, vertical and horizontal bars for other Stab personel...

 

[Lucky13]

Much obliged young man...
