All

As far as I can see, nothing so far refutes Gerhard's post.
Still lacking dates by Rasmussen, but I doubt they will change anything.

Cheers

Interesting debate - It seems logical that Gerhard is correct in stating that there were 2 sets of V numbers between the E airframes and the F series. Although the V25 is missing there is no reason to assume that one was assigned. I have CE+BR (a Stkz Block assigned to and used by BfW at Augsburg) marked as Bf 109 V at Augsburg on 06.03.41 from Fb.Kati Baur. Could this be the missing V25? Also I do not have anything for CE+BQ could this also be a missing Bf109 V number? Does anybody else have any ideas/data etc?
