A few Bf 109's some new to many, I'm sure, but perhaps not to der alte hase

Evening chaps,

Now for some Bf 109Gs:

Top: Gruppenkommandeur's aircraft II./JG51 Eastern Front, note yellow spinner and beneath the engine. Seems to be an unorthodox camouflage scheme, look at the wings with squiggles of darker colour.
Second: This could be an 'F' rather than a 'G' as I can't see any 'beules' but the original source called a 'G'. Looks like an airfield scrapyard.
Third: Bf 109G-2 of 9./JG54 Summer 1942. Note the curious olive green hue, almost certainly not a RLM colour, that JG54 applied with a dark green, possibily 71, in a wavy splinter pattern.
Fourth: Hungarian Bf 109G-6 yet the pilot is Luftwaffe.
Bottom: Bf109 G-6 late version with the tall tail. Erla camouflage pattern. Captured almost intact at Rheims, France in September 1944

Cheers

Chris

I've seen that pic a lot, but never noticed the guy standing there, unless there's two shots without him in one of them.

Very cool! I assume the white dots in the first pic are patches from bullet holes?
