Is this a 109F?
The caption says the a/c is a 109F but it has an Erla haube.

Re: Is this a 109F?
The two small air intakes behind the spinner close to the exhaust stack and the yellow fuel triangle behind the cockpit make this a Bf 109 G, and the lack of 'warts' probably a G-2 or G-4

Cheers

Chris

Re: Is this a 109F?
Would the wing bulge possibly make it a G-4?

Re: Is this a 109F?

Re: Is this a 109F?
Whilst I agree with the posters who highlighted G features, a test airframe could have several non-standard elements. It might have started life as an F, if the original caption was written with knowledge of the Werkenummer.

Its not a Bf 109 F. And I don't think that I was earlier a Bf 109 F.
