Think this is the "before" picture unless they had a bloody good panel beater

The base is Fels-am-Wagram otherwise known as Feuersbrunn. My father had two trips there in '44. Don't think I can blame my Dad for that damage thought!!

The caption for the image above is

"A new Bf 109G before Feldwebel Mueller got his hands on it"

Nice pic FB! Coincidentally, I was looking at Google mapping of that area just a couple of days ago, and found, on the satellite images, what I think is the site of the airfield, just east and slightly north of the town of Fels am Wagram.

Airframe There is not much left. If you go on Flash Earth down to street level you can make out Flugplatzstrasse. On my screen there is a big wide white band across the airfield. But I think it was West of the town. This is a photo taken just after a raid on the 7.7.44

My Dad payed a visit there the night before with 40 Squadron RAF

Almost fits

Thanks mate, great job! I saw that place too, and thought it might be the field. The other place I mentiond, the outline of what could have been hard runways, dug up and overplanted, is just visible. Of course, it might just be coincidence, and be the shape of crops or fields.
I'll have another look, as I'm planning a JG27 Bf109G6 soon, and would like to get the diorama in authentic settings.
