IIRC that's correct, the 109s only had about five-ten minutes combat time over the UK before "Red Light".

Great shots though
The 109E-7 was the first 109 to have drop tanks.
Correct. Those are indeed Emil 7's, but at the time I took the picture I preferred flying the 7 to the 4 and there were a number of BoB skins for it ok il2skins oddly enough. I think I was also monkeying with the formation commands so I would equip drop tanks just to make that feature work.
