Re: Me 109 canopy with slot at the top?!
Hi,
Hopefully to knock this one on the head, spoke to my contact again highlighting this thread - he stated categorically that it was definitely NOT a slot and that it was a perspex (plexiglas) bar for moving the top panel back and forth. He recalls a thickness of up to 5mm and that it was not bullet proof. I hadn't quite appreciated how emphatic he was intending to be first time I spoke to him on the subject, my hearing will be back to normal soon! I agree with SP that any form of slot wouldn't be a good idea as regards water getting in! So, has anyone got any decent pics, maybe even from a restored or relic aircraft? Regards, David
