Re: Bf 109 F-2 Trop South Africa War Museum
Hi Stefaan!
Great! An interesting ID plate. The rear structure with the tailwheel recess is called the "Leitwerkstrager". This is listed in the Bf109F partslist under the "Baugruppe, 109.103-01" . Interestingly, the title on the plate refers to the fact that the part is a BFW item but, obviously the component was made/assembled by Arado.
The top line seems to read BF 109 F41, which is a little curious.
The second line seems to read 11/1000 which I do not think is a construction number for the aircraft, more likely a simple serial number from a production contract, as in, 11th out of 1000.
Obviously, just my thoughts.
Cheers
SM
