Bf 109 T, 2./JG 77 - archive photo scan #28

 

A 'Toni' from Kurt Hammel's photo album. 2. Staffel JG 77 Bf 109 T 'Red 1' appears to have suffered a landing accident as the port gear leg has collapsed. Fuel from the fuselage tank is being drained. The Staffel number appears to have been over-painted on a lighter pale patch perhaps obliterating a previous identity. Fuselage and wings have been re-sprayed at some point. See the neat Swiatlon artwork in the Chandos 'Graf Zeppelin's Eagles' title. According to the Marshall history this is Lister in 1941.
