Re: Bf 109 G5 110897 vs. G6 412627
Not both, in the 110xxx-batch were produced G-5s ... exclusive.
It's right too that wasn't delivered (produced) an G-5 with the W.Nr.110 897 and it wasn't planned to built such an W.Nr. The last "regular" G-5 left the factory im March 1944, some in May or June (most of this a/c's were repaired in Erla VII Antwerpen after the "Big Week" raid in February 1944). The next and last "regular" G-5s followed in August 1944. The mentioned G-6, W.Nr.412 627 was produced in May/June 1944.
Would be an possibility that Erla stored an "old" G-5 fuselage (or components) for 2 month to use in the following G-6 production ... but I have my problems with this thought because they hadn't enough space after the February raid (but nothing is impossible, of course).
Would be nice to see the fourth and fifth digit ... may be it's possible to say more.
Best wishes
