Bf109 after the war

[jednastka]

The original Czech intent was to produce them with DB engines. However, after only a few were made, the plant they had (as part of the German re-distribution of manufacturing during the war) was completely destroyed by fire. They had the Jumo engines, but the marriage was not simple, different rotation direction, and HP to weight ratio. It was a force-fit that worked after a fashion for the short term.

... with the usual Wiki - mistakes.

Only two examples: "Round 550 S-199s were built, including a number of conversion trainers designated CS-199 (armed) and C-210 (unarmed). The first flight took place in March 1947, and production ended in 1949."

1.) C-210 wasn't the desigantion of an unarmed trainer but the designation for S-199 before 1947. In August 1947 the designation was changed from C-10 to S-99, C-110 to CS-99 and C-210 to S-199 (it was the C-210.1, the prototype). The CS-199 had never another designation because the first a/c was flown after August 1947. (Look --- there is an contradiction between the Wiki-text and the Wiki-version list.)

2.) The first flight was on 25 April 1947, 02.32 pm, and not in March.The production ended 1951 with the S-199.543. The last CS-199, the CS-199.582 was delivered on 22 September 1950.

Have a look on the sources --- there is not one source in Czech language.

You are right Rasmussen, Wiki could make in many cases mistakes but I guess they could be edited.

Rumania built the Bf 109G also post-war and used them up until 1956.

Their Bf109 as I know have different bulge on nose, a bit larger. But no idea why, maybe some specific equipment under the skin?

Hungary also used the Me109 wartime...

The Spaniards did not have the G6...it was the G2 only (1942) when they bought the license.
