Re: Data Plates Exposed #7: Bf 109 G-6
Hi John,

I did consider the possibility that 16559 is a full WN. However, I'm assuming it's a 6-digit number based largely on wartime photo envidence showing a very different style of main data plate used on 5-digit WN G-6's. Also, since one plate is definitely a 6-digit (e.g., 163915), I'm guessing the other is also. Yes, it's all speculation.

Thank you for your reply; I hope you enjoy the plate series. Hopefully the TOCH gang will shed some further light on these two.

Steve
