Oil leak collectors on Recce Bf-109 G2/R2
I think that several Bf-109 G2/G4-R2, recce models, were equipped with two oil leak collector pipes or deflectors located on the lower surface running from the front wing area or from the oil radiator up to the camera fairing sides...these elements were really pipes or only small deflectors....(small thjin plates) ???, which was the routes of these pipes/deflector???s, were located from the oil radiator running from this one or were located only around the camera fairing??? ...any good detail view of these pipes, in particular on black 14 "Irmgard" of the 2(H)/14 ???
Thank you in advance Regards JOse Luis |

Hi!
All Me109's had small funnels/collectors in the lower engine cowling and under the cockpit...is this what you are referring to? Mike |

Re: Oil leak collectors on Recce Bf-109 G2/R2
Not really, ...I refer to two external pipes or deflectors running, I think, from the lower rear side of the oil radiator or wing up to the rear sides of the camera fairings; on one of the pictures of the black 14 is possible to see the rear end on one of the sides. I think that only were used on the recce R2 version of the 109's.
