Just saw this. https://www.thelocal.de/20170307/dan...raft-and-pilot

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Wow, that was quite the school project. I suppose the pilot has been ID'd?

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

We have a fair idea

Me109 found in field with Pilot

Any feedback on this story would be very interesting. Maybe someone on this forum may know more.
From what I can see in the pictures it looks to be a Late mark/model me109?

Apologies for duplicate post.

knd Regards

Wow, maybe a new researcher/writer on way!

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

If the pictures really show a late Bf 109, it can not be Krüger. He was flying a G-6, produced june-august 1943.

Sadly all papers found were handed over to some museum people, who has no idea what so ever what they are dealing with;-(

Jörn, take the care and go there to help them! :-)

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Soren Flensted has tried to help them;-). So I leave it at that.

Good. Hopefully the boy gets bitten by the aviation-bug... lol He got a good start at least

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

An researcher ... armed with full set of Bf 109 manuals, part lists and "hands on" knowledge of what to look out for ??

Another not far back discovery in same country comes to mind.
When are people learning.

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Hilmar, an engine specialist from flugzeugforum.de, said this are remains from a DB 605A ... his guess is an G-6/G-14. So Krüger could be an possibility.

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Hey.

They have just said it's not Bruno Krüger but they will not say name of ID-papers yet....... My guess is one of these three:

Bf109 G-6 (RX+JF) vkr.412118..... 30 Aug 1944 Pilot Gunter Kreiger
Bf109 G-6 (NI+XZ) vkr.165196 eller 165096..... 10 Okt 1944 Pilot Hans Wunderlich
Bf109 G-6 (RX+DQ eller 152) vkr.411920.............. 16 Nov 1944 Pilot Franz Kowalski

or perhaps a completely unknown ;-)

Any updates?

The article shows a Merlin powered 109.:o

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Sad that he had no surviving relatives... :(

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

I agree with Harrison987

Very Sad and so young.

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Can the correct Werknunner and SKZ for Hans Wünderlich's aircraft be verified or confirmed? Also, is his unit or that of the aircraft known?

Werk Nr. 165096 NI+XZ 1./JG 102

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

According to my database entries, NI+XZ was WNr.165196.
WNr.165096 should be NR+ED (but not confirmed).

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Could be a typing error from my side years ago

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

I have WNr 165196 as lost June 20th 1944 at Clastres with Uffz Jürgen Zarte from 9./JG 1 at the controls?

WASt Verlustmeldung states: Wnr 165096 Skz NI+XZ.

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

Well, fellows, it looks like we've got another case of a typographical error with Hans Wünderlich's Bf 109.

If the Werknummer was 165 096, the SKZ would have been N R + E D as has been said. For me this SKZ looks 95 per. sure match for 165 096.

BUT—if the SKZ were N I + X Z as Jòrn has said based on the NVLM, then 165 196 is the Werknummer. I would like other opinions, but for me, a mistake in the number seems more likely than a mistake in the SKZ.

So, it seems to me that we should have 165 196 N I + X Z as the most probable candidate for the kite in question.
