having seen a picture of said ‘Lake’ and viewed it on map..,, it is actually more of a pond.. but good luck to him

Eric thanks for that any idea of an idea on an identity for the Me109f-4
it seems even in Germany the name “Spitfire” is splashed over a newspaper article when 95% of it is about another type of aeroplane!

Most welcome. The article only quotes the gentleman saying it’s a Bf109F-4 that came down at the end of the war.

There’s a small thread on the 12 O-clock high forum with the same gentleman quoting it crashing in October 1944.

Identity of the pilot and plane are not known yet, investigation continuing apparently.

And for those of us without a basic understanding of German what does the Article say? I can’t see “Achtung Spitfire” in it anywhere

Thanks

By far the most of the story is on the recovery of an ME109F-4 and its pilot from the woods near Schifferstadt recently. The last paragraph (only) mentions the Spit, saying this gentleman has strong indications there’s an English fighter likely to be a Spitfire laying in the small Bahnweiher lake in Schifferstadt and he hopes to recover the wreck next Spring when the water is warmer to dive it.

Bizarre.

Don’t know why I didn’t notice that!

Don’t fret, it’s why you have a wingman.

What’s the UFO behind the Spitfire?

It’s that Gallic Tree-Squirrel chappie with a rocket strapped to his backside.

Vive la Difference..

Isn’t it the guy with the jet-powered, strap-on flying wing?
