ME 109 fuselage

Can anyone cast any light on the whereabouts or demise of a messerscmitt 109 fuselage that once occupied the front garden of a house in Dorridge Warks, it was situated in the front garden of a house on the junction of Temple road and avenue road during the early/mids 70s, any:rolleyes: info would be appreciated, it may have been a mock up, though a very convincing one!

I thought our Museum had only had a Hurricane replica for a while? (long since removed by owner but I remember it there when I started in 94). Not heard about any ME109 replicas in the area…

There was an ex BoB film replica Me109 as well on the site from 1980 onwards, belonged to a former chairman of the Museum, it departed to Hawkinge If I remember correctly.
This quite possibly is the one referenced above as he used to live in the Solihull/Warwick area at the time.

It’s possible it may have been one of the replica’s made for the Battle of Britain film! I believe MAM had one for a time- but I cannot confirm whether it was the same one or not.

Hope this helps.
