Me 109 Belly Pan

Some pics of the P40 cowls, Ju88 belly pan P40 wing.

i also have some of the lower part of the vertical stabiliser that bolted onto the Ju88 tail.

The parts on the P40 wing have Hawk 75 stamps – so I assume the wing/landing flap was carried through intact.

I also managed to get two small parts of Fw190.

The 109 is in the post from France ….

Now what to do with a Ju88 tail…

These are the pictures I received of the P40 legs.

Also the back of one of the cowls and a piece of wing.

Apparently the ground is so hard and stony – that these parts were all on the surface and were not underground.

The Allison engine was sold several years ago…

Brian, What condition were the gear legs in? They are becoming quite rare, and with more and more P-40’s being rebuilt/restored there is significant growth in demand and price for gear legs. Can you put me in touch with the seller?

Two sections of P40 cowl from a lend lease P40 that was recovered in Northern Karelia a few years ago.

He also had the set of P40 front and rear undercarriage legs – but I had no use for them.

Did you say P-40 Cowls ?????????????

Do tell.

There was a poor condition one on ebay recently ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Me-109-Bodenblech-/161107252992?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=pf4RMSOSi%252B1EjFSbhfREF%252BWgW%252FQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc).

I saw a good one like this at Speyer last year that was snapped up as soon as it was brought into the hall.

This one has been in storage for at least the last few years with a collector in Germany. The lower surface has the ubiquitous tar deposits suggesting stored in a barn roof.

I even have one of the 4 tear drop covers.

They certainly did until quite recently – a lot of the V1’s and V2’s that have appeared in the last 10-15 years came from them. I have seen new/old stock FW190, Me262, Me109 parts to name but a few. There used to be a website with a load of pictures on it, but I haven’t seen it in some years.

Is that for real, underground factories still exist?

Is there someone working the underground factories again?
There were a load of those around about 10 yrs ago, before the factories in the east were sealed up.

Assuredly it is a part werkno, I can find no wkno blocks that would encompass that number.

I would say it is not likely a werkno of the plane itself, probably just a werkno of the part. Nice find. I havent seen one of those in several years, seen available about 5 or 6 in the last several months.

Thank you Andy.

Just a small issue of getting it home along with the Ju88 tail; P40 Cowl panels – plus the wife and child. And that is before Speyer this weekend.

I know I should have bought a bigger car..

Yes, it happens. I keep telling Mrs Tangmere how I keep ‘inadvertently’ acquiring things. It really is a terrible affliction. 🙂

51342 sounds as if it might be a W.Nr, but a good place to ask might be on the ‘Twelve o’clock high’ forum, although somebody may be along here to answer the question.
