Post #3822,
This is Bf 109 G-6 (WNr. UNK), 877+ red, found abandoned at an unknown location. Interestingly, along with the heavier old-style canopy, this aircraft lacks the forward “G” spark plug cowling vent. Also, the starter crank visible in this photo didn’t last long; it is missing in other photos of this aircraft.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
