Re: Looking for info about a hungarian Bf 109

Christian,

These are not factory codes or serial numbers at all. The markings with V.8.. row were abandoned over V.87. and the W-001 row had started after. These were Győr and WNF built aircraft and all three groups received W- marked aircraft. The really interesting in this picture is, that such row was abandoned again (well over W-200) and the remained examples were re-painted (with large colour numbers). Very few aircraft at the end of the war bore such former markins.
