None of the three Emils seen here seems to be the E-3 variant unless she was retro-fitted with the later cockpit canopy. IMHO that's the Bf 109E-4, WNr. 3709, flown by Oblt. Josef Fözö, 4./JG 51, Desvres, France, the mid/late 1940.

Here is a shot of the Bf 109E3 4./JG51 White 1 Josef Fozo WNr 1133 France 1940. The different cockpit hood can be noticed. Also the shape pf the digit "1" is slightly different.

I love research. found out this interesting story.

English 138 Special Duty Squadron RAF NF-Z

On the night of 21-22 May 1943, a solitary Halifax bomber thought to be BB229 NF-Z took off from RAF Tempsford in Bedfordshire for occupied Netherlands on Operation Marrow 35 and 36. Their sortie was to drop seven parachute containers packed with weapons and ammunition and two agents from the Dutch Section of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to members of the resistance waiting on remote farmland at Putten and then a further seven containers and two agents at a similar field in Elspeet. The navigator Warrant Officer Leslie Tomlinson later said both fields were easily identified by bicycle lamps pointing skywards which the resistance used to mark the drop zone (DZ) and after the two successful drops the Halifax headed for home.
