Bf109G-6/U2 CFE Report No.3?

[Peter D Evans]

Thanks for the info John...

I have an Air Intelligence 2 (g) Inspection of Crashed or Captured Enemy Aircraft report for W.Nr.412951 which I think I downloaded from Tony Wood's site.. but their is no report number on the document. However it does go on to mention towards the end - "Air 40/2418 Report A.D.I. (k) No. 371/1944 Landing of two Me 109Gs in error at Manston".

Do you have access to the two A.D.I(K) reports you mention and if so, would you be able to email me copies?

What I am trying to determine is when W.Nr.412951 was tested by the RAE if the two MG 151/20 cannons in under-wing gondolas were left in place or removed. Eric Brown test flew this particular aircraft, as described in his book "Wings of the Luftwaffe", but he makes no mention is made if it were flown in a clean configuration. Also all contemporary images of this aircraft show the gondulas in place...

Thanks again for your interest,
