Bücker Bü 181

Bücker Bü 181 B-1 Bestmann training aircraft with partially visible code GL+SN, Werknummer 14121, assigned to FFS (A/B) 43, in summer of 1943. Another Bü 181 can be seen in the background.

Camouflage seems to be standard 71/70/65; the underside of the wing tips appears to be painted yellow. Of note is the school's large emblem below the aircraft's windscreen. Exact date and location currently unknown. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection; with profound gratitude to Göran Larsson, Chris Simmonds, and Eric Guillaume at luftwaffe-research-group.org for contributing information regarding this aircraft's identity in November 2014)
