If you look at Mark12s pics earlier in the thread you can see it’s the same aircraft with the late G/K canopy.

It’s a totally different canopy to what it is wearing in this shot:

Neither are Bf109E canopies. Does anyone know the story of the canopy in the photo I posted. It looks legit because it has an authentic later style of pilot head armour. 🙂

Thank you very much. 🙂

It’s the scrap yards that are the problem. The places are predominantly owned and run by unscrupulous underworld criminal scumbag types who are more than happy to pay money to other scumbags for anything, whether it be a memorial plaque or a church roof. The Police raided one in South London the other day and found a 1 ton bronze dragon and a load of memorial plaques.
