Re: Bf 109 K-4 captured at Ainring "Wing of the Black Cross No. 4"
Hi!
In order to get the tail wheel door closed either the gear leg had to be up...or...the system cut by the ground crew. There were way too many issues with the retraction mechanism, so it was common to have the system cut, and the tail wheel doors bolted closed (as with the plane in the first photo).
If you look verrrrrrryyyy closely in the 2nd photos, there appears to be a number where the "5" should have been...looks like a tiny #4...or at least part of a number...
hmmmmmmmmm...
