On a German board hopes were high amongst those disappointed in Berlin (which includes me...) that the Bf 109 going on display at La Fert? Alais would be one of the two flyable ones in Germany. Somebody had contacted EADS and received the reply that it would be the static aircraft loaned to Mus?e de l'Air, in which case it is definitely the Ha 1109 (c/n 54) I mentioned below. Another point in favour of this theory is its odd paintscheme; i.e. camouflage without markings. This aircraft has been displayed like this for a long time now (I last saw it at an airshow in July last year in this condition) and was even also displayed for a long time in green primer paint only. Mikael Olrog's site shows it in the latter scheme. The aircraft registered D-FWME is to my knowledge a private project which has never been on display anywhere since it commenced its rebuild. If somebody could post a picture then the mystery can be solved...?!
