Messerschmitt – in Swindon?

Its way into its restoration Sabrejet

Nice one – ta.

The Emil restoration is currently subject to a multi part article in Flugzeug Classic. Fantastic what they are doing.

Can you get Flugzeug Classic in the U.K. ?, if so do you know where. Thanks

Sigh(!)

Restoration or recreation? From the photos it looks like an intriguing artefact so would be a crime to lose it for the sake of another repro.

Robs was very good at offering a back seat to whoever was standing around at the time, top bloke

I think it was Robs dream to get this one restored but I cannot see him ever being able to fly it now he must be getting on a bit, he did offer me a flight in Miss helen back in the 80s but unfortunately had to decline ! seems a silly thing to have done now.

Don’t feel too bad about it. I was offered a trip to Duxford from North Weald in 1988 and turned it down too. Lindsey Walton took my place. But then a few years later had flights in G-SUSY and N51RR.

Yes, the very one.

It was stored at Swindon (from where I collected it) and then displayed at Tangmere, and I was then involved in its delivery back to Swindon from Tangmere before it eventually went to Meirmotors direct, I believe?

Yes. Rob’s Lamplough’s Me 109

Not what I was expecting!

I had thought he’d meant a Buchon or a Nord/’108 type. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, obviously!
