DB605A-1 and DB605A-1 TP ???

Hi George!

I have a main DB605 data tag. it reads: DB605 A-1 TP.

When I do google a search for it, I find this info on an Me109...

"A few years ago a group of Polish aviation enthusiasts did find wreck of Bf-109 into Trzebun lake in Poland. It was completely wreck, whaich was rebuilt in Aviation Museum in Krakow and repainted into orginal markings.

Was built 11 may 1944 into Messerschmitt Werke at Regensburgu. Messerschmitt Bf 109 G6 no 163306 with Daimler-Benz DB 605 A-1 TP engine. Was joined to Jagdgruppe West, whoch was moved fromFrance to Kalisz Pomorski . Aircraft had side no 3 and radio code RQ + DS.

During 28 may 1944 RQ+DS was piloted by so young 24-year old pilot sgt. Ernst Pleines. During flight pilot detected a damage and tried to make a force landing. Finally crashed into Trzebun lake. Wreck was found 55 years later...

RQ+DS was rebuilt in using 80% of orginal parts and was marked by Messershmitt Associacion as the best and most realistic Me-109 rebuilt of the world."

So that is where my confusion lies...
