What is a 109 G14 without MW 50?

And it still has the G-6's short strut tail wheel and small rudder, and I think it had an Erla haube, although it was not recovered.

Prien calls the a/c a G-6 because the loss was reported as G-6 IIRC and the producer - Erla Leipzig - the a/c sold as G-6. The first designation of the G-14's was "G-6 MW 50".

Best wishes
