Interesting, I don't think I've seen a photo of Black 10 painted like that.

Black 10 was one of two Croatian 109s that defected to the Allies in Italy in 1945. Black 4, the other, became the fairly well known G-14/AS that was painted in RAF camo and carried the Polish insignia and 'LW' codes.

I've never seen a photo of Black 10 with RAF roundels, but there is a profile in the 'Captured 109s' book.

Note Black 10 was a G-14 rather than an 14/AS with the refined cowl (I have a memory that white 44 wasn't a G-10 either, but I'd need to check that!)

Found these:

Hahahaha! :lol:


Having finally got a copy of the sheet, I went looking for a picture of the Croatian Bf109, (convinced I'd not seen one), but with a vague memory that I'd read years ago that black 10 wasn't a G10!

Googling found this thread :lol:

BTW White 44 was a G10, it was more recent research that confirmed things!
