Good stuff Chris, thanks. Second from last shot in the main post - I don't think that's one of his, it looks like a 'G' (large 'smooth' wheels, possibly no 'quarter light' on the windscreen etc), and note what looks like the Naxos or similar fairing on the belly.
Yes I see that now but check the second pic in the post - its the same machine.

I love these picture threads you put together Chris. Much appreciated!
The writing on the back of this one indicates it was taken in August 1941.

Thanks Chuck!
T-Bolt, I'm gonna try a few more.

a few profile pics.
Terry, did you notice the color of the cowling of the F-1 SG+ in the pics above?
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
Good stuff Chris, and yes, I noted the yellow cowling.
Could that be a replacement cowling from an Emil?
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
No Chris, the 'Emil' cowling was a different shape and size, with a 'square' supercharger intake and ducting. It's a standard 'Friedrich' cowling, and almost certainly yellow in colour, the dark colour (often mistaken for red) being the effect of the orthochromatic film used, or possibly a B&W print from a colour negative, made on ordinary B&W 'Bromide' paper. (also seen on the lower half of the rudder.)
It's very possible that it is the same aircraft as shown in the photo below it, before the winkel was painted, but after removal of the factory delivery code letters.
Thanks!
