Bf109 News from Germany!

Had the opportunity to visit the Messerschmitt Museum in Manching today and was treated to two displays by the Bf 109G-10 D-FDME. Pleased to report that the aircraft is in v-e-r-y good health :) The engine of Bf109G-6 D-FMBB had been removed from the aircraft and the reason for its second engine failure in Berlin in May was very visible: a connecting rod had departed company with the piston and had made rather huge hole in the crankcase. They are now looking for a new engine...
