Dear Mike,

you have already been answered above by much more informed and expert people than me on this particular topic. All of them seem to converge on one point: no recycling and no use of old parts was employed in building the G-10. This is what I originally said.

I am sure that Charles, Jörg and others could bring much more detailed info on their statements and help with their huge (and I underline "huge") knowledge of the late Bf 109 series. I only wanted to point out and correct one of those statements that are repeated over and over and that weren't supported so far by any evidence, while proofs of the contrary have been instead found and studied by those researchers above.
