A Bf 109 G-3 (/U2) initially scheduled for testing GM-1 perfomance at Mtt A.G., after the problems with a similar machine (see VB 109 17 L 43 Leistungsmessung Me 109 G mit GM 1 - Zusatzeinspritzung, v. 21.9.43).

It seems the testing was canceled, and the machine was sent to a frontline unit. This unit seems to have encountered some stability problems with it, and returned the plane back to Mtt. Problem found to be in the tail unit (see VB 21 E 43 Me 109 WNr.16287 (rotes Kennz. 11-1) Längsstabilität, v. 3.12.43).
