Bf109G-6/AS of JG11


 This Bf109G-6/AS from II./JG11 was found by allied troops at Bernay in France, abandoned more or less intact by the looks of if. The camouflage is heavily modified, something that one would expect from a former Reich defense unit going into the battle of Normandy. Interestingly though, II./JG11 seems to have been modifying their G-6/AS' camofalge long before the invasion. A similar scheme can be seen already in the spring of 1944 on another II./JG11 Bf109G-6/AS

Bf109G-6/AS from JG1

http://www.cptfarrels.com/blog/Bf109G-6AS White 1 JG1_1200.jpg
A Bf109G-6/AS from 9./JG1 based at Anklam in the autumn of 1944. The all RLM 76 Bf109G-6/AS fighters were used by III./JG1 in their role as topcover escorts for the heavily armed Fw190's of the Geschwader tasked with attacking the 8:th airforce bombers. The antenna is mounted on the fuselage, an indication that this aircraft was originally fitted with a standard canopy. An indication that this could be a regular Bf109G-6 converted to G-6/AS standards.
