Messerschmitt Bf-109 F-AZSO

Just noticed this has just gone onto the French register, does anyone out there have any further details?

It is supposed to be a D-B powered Buchon/ bf-109G.

Rene Meyer and J. M. Goyat also had a Buchon which apparently is kind of a donor aircraft in the restoration. Add to that a lot of new parts and a couple of genuine ones, and presto, you have a bonafide bf-109G.

Still not appeared on any register yet, but according to a French forum, it is a Bf.109G-6, Werk. No. 26129 which is mentioned above by Paul and is near the bottom of the list below.

An online version of the French Register is here:

http://www.immat.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/immat/servlet/aeronef_liste.html

But (my basic French) does not allow be to search it or it appears F-AZSO is not found

Anyway could it be any of these 2 from

http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Luftwaffe/messerschmitt/me109.htm

Bf 109G-6 26129 France CR Black 3
11./JG 54
RV+IS Aéronautique Provençale Victor Tatin, previously with a collector in Gent, Belgium. Retrieved from Russia. Only Cockpit section and some other parts. Will be restored to flying condition using wing structure, longerons and main spar from Buchon.

Bf 109F-1 ?? France CR ?? Ailes Anciennes Marseille – Escadrille Pegase Reported to be a cockpit section only. The organisation is to have been dissolved and the wreck moved to unknown place more NEWS? Reported in AM March 2002 to be under restoration to airworthiness by Paul Coggan.

Don’t worry. It’s not your French that’s letting you down. F-AZSO is not yet on the register on the DGAC website. However as I don’t know with what frequency it is updated, perhaps no conclusions should be drawn from that. Give the search facility on the website another go in a week or so!

He did seem to have a soft spot for the P-51!

Not clear whether you meant a ‘restoration by Paul Coggan’ or ‘reported by Paul Coggan’:confused: Slightly academic now as Paul has passed on.

It would be ‘reported by’. Paul’s involvement with hands on restoration was a long time ago and a NAA product.

Interesting registration that FATSO! Not clear whether you meant a ‘restoration by Paul Coggan’ or ‘reported by Paul Coggan’:confused: Slightly academic now as Paul has passed on.

Where did you find the info? I can’t seem to find the French register anywhere (but then I seem to struggle with Google at the moment….)

I use this one:

None of the above… a very long term restoration.

OO-MAF, D-FMBB, D-FEHD would be the nearest geographical candidates. D-FWME has recently moved homes so it could be insured under the EADS umbrella. Any idea of a c/n number?
