Daily eBay scan - FW 190s and Bf 109s of JG 5

A small collection of Focke-Wulf 190s and Messerschmitt Bf 109s is currently on offer from kurmark-antik.

Schwarze 4 of (in my opinion) 11./JG 5 after a an accident at what I think is Banak airfield. I believe this to be the landing accident of the FW 190 WNr 481, flown by Friedrich Hammesfahr on December 11th 1942, the accident resulting in a damage assessed to 20%.
Another image of the same aircraft during the operation to get it back on it´s wheels.
The second dual set of photographs show another FW 190 in the north, I believe this to be the airfield at Banak also. A fitting loss record could be the FW 190 A-3, WNr 2275 which was damaged 35 % after a landing accident on May 31st 1943. 
The same aircraft shown from the other side.
A Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-2 or A-3 coded Schwarze 14 parked with starting cart attached. The apparently treeless hill in the background hints to the far north, but I will have to check further reference photos before I make a guess on where this was taken.
An early series Bf 109F being pushed into the custom made hangar, most likely at the airfield at Alakurtti in Finland
Another Bf 109F, probably also at one of the airfields in the far north.
Three members of JG 5 in front of a Bf 109G of the unit.
As always - more information on the photographs and comments with regards to my theories are most welcome!

  1. The kopfstand of black 4, is Wolfgang Kindt, in 1943, supposed to be from Alta (Altengard). Source is the biography about Wolfgang Kindt written by his daughter, "Mein Vater der fremde":

    I will check to see if there is any more specific date. Beware, I've found lots of errors in this book.
