Parabellum, that is NOT a Bf 109T! What makes you think that? Wings are normal span.

If this:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=300090067470

is the other one you suspect is a Bf 109T, it is not. The shape of the air intake is not standard for Emils, sure, but this type was retrofitted to BOTH Bf 109Ts and Es after about 1942.

This 109 lacks the one positive identifying fuselage feature of the Bf109T, the circular compass access hatch seen between fuselage frames 2 & 3 as also used on later Bf 109 versions.

I'd be a very happy person if new Bf 109T photos appeared (in fact its one of the reasons I'm looking though Ed's excellent postings), but they have been few and far between!

Regards,

Kjetil
