Hello,
A couple of days ago a number of photos showing a strangely equipped Bf 109E was posted on a Polish discussion forum (
http://www.odkrywca-online.com/pokaz....php?id=150283 ). Sadly, the discussion itself led to no definitive answers about the purpose or properties of the strut suspended under the aircraft. The guy who posted the photos states, he had some of them from his friend, a Luftwaffe collector, while he received the rest via internet from Spain... Strange enough?
Does anybody have any ideas what was this installation intended for? There were many theories - e.g. a flamethrower, refuelling pipe, shaft for towing gliders - none too convincing...
Kind regards
