43-49664 to French air force in December 1944. Seen here repratriating prisoners from Germany in May 1945. The location is given as Hengen near Stuttgart. Spitfires of GC I/7 'Provence' and GC II/7 'Nice' were based there according to ECPAD and are seen in other photos. We could find no other reference to an airfield near Hengen, 40 km south of Stuttgart. 349664 became F-BAIE of Air France in 1946. To Air Cameroun in 1965 as TR-ABJ.
