Another image of Karl Hannes in the Gustav with the STKz "KJ+??" Note the factory finish - a single protective coat overall of the lower surface colour. Possible identity of this machine..

- Erla-built Bf 109 G-2/Trop batch W.Nr. 10 605 - 10 629 "KJ+BA" - "KJ+BY" built between July and December 1942.

- Erla-built Bf 109 G-4 batch W.Nr. 14 976 - 15 000 "KJ+GA" - "KJ+GY", produced between December 1942 and February 1943.

from Marc-Andre Haldimann; 

 "Your photo does show with high probability one of the G-2/Trop W.Nr. 10 605 - 10 629 "KJ+BA" - "KJ+BY" machines, as evidenced by the tear-shaped umbrella holders. Time frame would be late summer 1942.."
