Hi All,

 I just found this compiled list of Me 109’s projects either Airworthy / Static:- restored / Under restoration / Parts Of Aircraft etc. etc, if any of it will help you with the I.D. of particular Me 109E aircraft ?  I have checked and will admit that it is not up to date as at least one has flown if not more since the list was compiled.

The list of extent airframes/parts etc. etc. makes for some good reading and gives an insight into exactly what is out there regards this particular aircraft type and the preservation work carried out, 

The future looks quite good for possible airworthy examples that are on the go IMHO,  but as so many have pointed out it all comes down to the £/$’s at the end of the day so for me it’s fingers crossed.
