Tropicalized “109” in Germany

This Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4/Tropicalized (note the anti-sand filter), WNr.10124, Stammkennzeichen CD+LR, isn’t obviously in a North African environment, but rather in Germany. And also the finish isn’t a North African livery. According the LEMB Stammkennzeichen Database Project this aircraft was allocated to Jagdgeschwader 5 (JG5) which was never deployed in North Africa, but in Northern Europe. The glider in background is seemingly a single seat Göppingen Gö 3 Minimoa. Victor Sierra
