Re: Galland's Bf 109E-4/N, late 1940

No no, it's a blinded MG 17 blast tube you see. MG 17 and MG-FF wasn't installed in the same place. While the wing was standarized for both kind of weapon, two fitting points in main wing spar were prepared. If MG-FF was installed, the hole where normally the blast tube for MG 17 was blinded. It seems, that sometimes it was patched with a soft material (fabric?).
