: : Peter W. Cohausz in his book Deutsche Flugzeuge bis 1945
: , Aviatic Verlag 2001, has the following information on Mr
: . Wagner and his projects:
:
: "Bf109G-14/AS, werknummer....345 or 784993. Amongst the ma
: ny aircraft lost during Operation Bodenplatte on 1-1-1945
: was Weisse 13 of IV/JG53 that made a belly-landing in the
: vicinity of Felsberg/Saar. It seems that the pilot was tak
: en prisoner by US troops. The aircraft was for a while use
: d as a plaything by local youth until a farmer pulled it i
: nto a ditch and covered it. In 1987 the aircraft was recov
: ered by Raymond Wagner form Spiesen/Elversberg. The result
: of the exvation was quitte disappointing as only the wing
: s and fuselage-centresection of this Regensburg built 109
: remained.
:
: After the recovery the remains were used to form the basis
: for the reproduction (Nachbau in German) of a Bf109G-14/A
: S that was started by mr. Wagner. After the fuselage, incl
: uding equipment, was more or less completed mr. Wagner tur
: ned his attention to the construction of an airworthy repr
: oduction of a Bf109K.
:
: Besides building the K mr. Wagner also built 2 Bf109G fuse
: lages which he intented to swap for parts. One of these fu
: selages went to Baden, in the vicinity of Vienna in Austri
: a. The other went to the aviation museum in Laatzen-hannov
: er. After the museum at Laatzen acquired 2 Bf109G wings th
: e fuselage and wings are now being rebuilt to form a compl
: ete airframe for a new museum in San Carlos, Brasil"
:
: Hope this helps.

: Dear Cees,
: :
: : The Me109 G-14 from Wagner is another Me109G-14 there is
: n
: : o link to this Me109 near Leipzig.
: :
: : Has anybody got any Info about the Wagner project? Last
: th
: : ing I have heard is that Wagner has begun to rebuilt/res
: to
: : re a Me109G-14. During this restoration (after he has co
: mp
: : leted the fuselage of the Me109G-14) Wagner has decided
: to
: : built a 109K. What has happened to these projects?
: : Wagner has built some fuselages of Me109G's as well so t
: ha
: : t he has the opportunity to trade them against other Me1
: 09
: : parts.
: :
: : Does anybody has any information about Wagner?
