There is another Emil in advance stage of rebuild ...some edited details as follows

Messerschmitt 109E-7 wk.nr.1983 , Red ? of 5./JG5
Shot down on the 24.01.42 following combat with the Hurricanes of 2./ 760.IAP VVS 14A at Kovda and made a belly landing , the pilot surviving . The wreck was
salvaged in 1993 . The aircraft , consisting of the centre section and wings , was sold to Hamburg collector Eberhard Thiesen.

I have a recovery picture that will be included in a 109 article upcomming in 'CW'.
Craig has a couple of F wrecks in storage as well , but don't think anything has been started on them till now.

regards
Dave
