“Flug Werk is receiving two reasonably intact Me 109’s at the end of November ‘04.
An “F” as well as an “E”-model. Both aircraft will be restored to airworthiness and the “Friedrich” will form the engineering basis for the rebirth of new Messerschmitt airframes. Along with the exclusive possibility to power the 109’s with all new DB 601 engines, Flug Werk has now the opportunity to revive another very important fighter aircraft of German WII fame. We will report about the project on this as well as on the dedicated Me 109 page in our website in due course.”
Wow
😮 🙂

Thanks for the info, Dave
I’m sure the 601’s will be treated like gold.
I personally think the “F (Friedrich) ” model is the best looking of the ‘109 series. I think it’s the retractable tailwheel which just cleans it up that much nicer 🙂

‘Black 2’ in fact – at that time owned by Dittes ;-0 . Flugwerk purchased several crated DBs from ‘the East’ last year.

That’s great news !!
Brings back memories of seeing “Black 6” here in NZ a few years ago displaying at Wanaka.
Where are the DB601’s coming from ?
I thought they were like hen’s teeth or are they new builds ?
