I´d like to post 2 new video clips of Messerschmitt Flugmuseums Red 7. Both are onboard clips uploaded recently to youtube. Enjoy!

Great video of a great aircraft. Love the sound – a real snarl – and that supercharger sound is epic! Thanks for posting.

Love the display clip, it was interesting seeing the leading edge slat come out and the stick work as it lands back.
Great sound and a great find.

Gives you an idea of how much can be seen out the front, too!
Great clips, though.

Isn’t it just? I well remember sitting in both the 109 and Spitfire as a skinny 14 year old. My recollection of my thoughts at the time. Spitfire = snug, 109= how do you find room to move the controls. Yes even then I found it very cramped. The fact that you were also sitting on top of a fuel tank didn’t exactly inspire confidence either.

My God that is a tiny cockpit!
Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff Redvanner! I don’t know how the Germans do it, prang…fix…fly…in seemingly no time. Oh yes, I remember…resources! If you have the ear of anyone on the team, can you ask if they could insert a P in P of the pilot working the pedals on take off and landing? A challenge I know, but it would be interesting to see.
I am sorry, but I do not have any connection with those guys at Messerschmitt Flugmuseum whatsoever. I just searched the net for something else, and found the video clips. Regarding the fast repair I can only guess. They do have very good connections, prop shop around the corner (AFAIK MT), do engine repair in-house (Siggi Knoll), a very capable fuselage and wing producer nearby (Hartmair), and a very enthusiastic and professional team. They also have the other 2 109´s under repair, so they might just have used parts and pieces originally intended for one of the others. But this is purely guesswork on my side.
