Re: Bf 109 West of Bordeaux
I hate to disagree....buuuuuuuuuut...
There is no possible way this is from an E.
100% this is F...without a doubt.
the plates:
109.651-02 is from the ENGINE cowling of an F-K. With the re-design of the engine cowling from E to F, this number "651" was assigned to this new cowling style (the Me109E never used this code). This number was assigned to the Me109F onward...
109.621 (another cowling plate) - started with the Me109F...and ended with the G4.
So there is no possible way this is from an E.
The G model had the KG13A...so the the KG12 stick, along with the data plates, confirm this is an Me109 F wreck.
Fuel gauges were often re-used in all models (E gauge used on a G, for example). The gauges between E and G all indicated the same fuel tank capacity, so they were interchangeable. I have also seen F gauges on G birds.
so 100% this is an Me109F...no other possibilities, as proven by the engine cowling data plates.
