Sycamore is on the right track.
This French Squadron fought at the Eastern front.
Edit:
i need to learn to count
The kills as mentioned by Sycamore do actually count up to the 13
painted on the fuselage.

I ask again - Ivanovo ?

SLB,( 2x5)+3= 13,or do you add 15% in Euroland....(he did have 2 shared ground kills as well)

Syca,

Apologies
I think I added VAT
13 indeed

Marchi`s aircraft `White 4` is displayed in Le Bourget museum.....

That is correct
I visited there a week ago.
The same photo is displayed in the dedicated Normandië-Niemen pavilion.

I think however te caption in the museum is wrong.
So Le Bourget is not the place we are looking for.

Orsha,or Pillau...?????

In the end The Eastern front moved to the west.

Not Lithuania

The shatter gun approach of Asturias does cover the approximate date of the photo’s i posted but the places stated are all to far East.

I will wait till after next proposal of any of you before i will reveal what i have found the location.

So are we in Poland or Germany by any chance ?

Maybe Stuttgart

not a scatter gun but a list of where they were based according to Wikipedia (I know, I know....) - so we didn't have to plough through every WW2 airfield in E Europe.......

Still it's certainly cut down the area!

I have seen a picture which says `Khaborovsk`,3500nm East....
How about Dubrovka...? as other pics sa it was taken March `45...?

Dook has nailed it to Stuttgart
I have found the photos on the web stating march-june 1945.

Albums of war

dook has Control

That link reference is where I found Stuttgart.

No aeroplanes or duffle coats:
