Re: Bf 109E, 'Mors-Mors'
Dénes,
I don't think that "Mors-Mors" means a crude expression that you indicated. This is supposed to be an old-fashioned greeting that people from Hamburg use. I believe it starts out as "Hümmel-Hümmel," with the reply "Mors-Mors," or vice-versa. Sometimes you find one part of the greeting on one side of a plane and the second part on the other. I have photos of this traditional greeting on 3 different aircraft, and it usually means that the crew, or an important member of it, comes from Hamburg. The source of this info is Jochen Prien, who lives in Hamburg and ought to know. He's on vacation right now, but will probably confirm this when he returns.
Regards,
