Thanks for your confirmation Matti. This is the real identity of our airframe.
BF109 G1 W.Nr 14055. Built by Messerschmitt AG, Regensburg. Date March 1942, in block 14039-14063. Stkz found in LMBD database says NI + BY

Deliverd directly to 11(H)Jg26 ?

Crashed 1942-07-30, 11.(H)Jg26, Bf 109G-1, 14055, Fl.Pl. Audembert, Notlandung infolge Feindbeschuß. Bruch 70 %.

I found trough serch on circus 200, an all the ramrods conected to it, that the Belgian 350sqd had claimed 2 Me109 this day. 3 pilot`s had damaged the airframe, bout none had followed it to the crash at Auden bert.

Du Monceau de Bergendael with his spitfire VB sn EN794 code MN-X "USOKE" was the first to get hits on 14055, had to brake of, but saw later an acrcraft decending on the route to Audenbert.

SGT Jean Ester with his spitfire VB sn EN796 code MN-D "STANLEY"
Damaged 14055 so the engine stops, he also have to brake off due to other aircrafts.

P/O Henri.E Marchal. with Spitfire VB sn BM176 code MN-M "YAUNDE" Last to hit 14055 with both canon and mg, engine was not running and on desend towards France from near mid channel.


The aircraft was ferried on 20.02.43 from Deurne (where the repair was performed by Erla) to Vaerlöse (which acted as a Flugzeugschleuse for aircraft intended for JG 5).

and during transfer the engine was changed in Stade because of engine failure (the repair ended on 23.03.1943 and the a/c was flown to Vaerloese).


Rebuilt to G2 standard in a repairshopp in France ? Is there any info were JG2 sendt the damaged plane to.

Rebuilt by merging G1 with F4 trop airframe? we have a lot of parts / numbers sugesting this teory. Even the engine trottle linkage on the firewall ( 3 different positions ) our was bolted in the upper one saying E motor ( 601E for F4 )
