It’s irrelevant what it’s worth – the owner must have a price in mind and it comes down to whether you want to pay it or not. There is little point in posting pictures unless you want to start a ‘gold rush’. My advice -buy first and talk about it later!

Thanks for the input David 😀

I have been in contact with the seller, I even made an offer, he told be that ‘bidding’ so far stands at £27000!!!, he told me that a buy it now option of £40000!! will secure it!!
Below are the details he sent me:

Thanks for your interest. This 109F-4 cockpit section was found in
Russia in
the early 90s. The serial number is unknown to date, although it
certainly
is an Erla-built example probably from the 10000 Werknummern block.
The
project is about 95% complete.

Description:

The cockpit is dismantled and unrestored, it has been bolted together
for
the photos only. The only missing parts are the cockpit sidewall
reinforcements, the electrical panels, blind panel, cockpit floor cover
and
other minor parts. The original parts included are:

-Rudder bar, original and complete with brake pistons & pedals GC

-Throttle assembly: original with push rods and actuating levers. VGC

-Oxygen system: regulator, ****, manometers & tubing. No mount. VGC.

-U/c indicator & selector: both original and GC

-Trim & flap wheel assembly & indicator: Complete system GC.

-Original canopy & windscreen; no plexi. Windscreen and rear part in
GC,
folding part incomplete (hinge side missing)

-MG151 ancillaries and electrical parts including relay boxes etc. The
cannon itself is not included.

-Map case, Original VGC

-Armour : complete set, original VGC

-Antenna mast, original.

-Seat & harness: original. 1 latch missing.

-Complete control column & base, including aileron lever and rare KG12A
grip
(correct type for the F)

-complete -and original- main instrument panel with gunsight: this is
one of
only two known original 109F panels in the world. Complete with
instruments,
including the rare u/c indicator, tropical filter lever, original u/c
release grip, etc, all original. Including original Revi 12D gunsight
and
mount.

The project includes also most of the electrical & hydraulics on the
cockpit: cockpit lamps, regulator, breakers, dimmer, IFF BG25 box,
earphones
swich with cable & plug, etc.

Also included are many other parts, samples & hardware, like BfN
normalized
bolts & prisoner nuts, etc

After restoration this project would make one of the most accurate and
original 109F cockpits today, as even complete examples like the one in
South Africa or Canada do not have accurate interiors and none has an
original instrument panel, for example. The project would provide also
accurate information as to how the 109F cockpit is made -no 109F
drawings
survided- or would be a source for -nearly impossible to find- parts
for
any of the current 109F restorations.

The museum in question will not allow photographs. I may have some somewhere as I was there at Dymnchurch Redoubt when it came ashore.

Thanks, would really like to see the pictures if you can find some, I might be heading that way this summer and will have a look for me self 🙂 🙂

sad really when cameras are not allowed…….really glad Duxford does not enforce this……I’m thinking of taking some pictures of the 109 (1109) and counting the foot steps to the exhibit so that I can ask a gang to steal it for me……..:D

The 109 or whats left of it does still exist in the Kent Battle Of Britain Museum, but it is a shadow of it’s former self.

It comprises two wings leaning against a wall and a couple of palletts of dismantled bits, that i could only see from a distance.

The Brenzett group took it apart to conserve and rebuild it, but over the years and complicated splittings and joinings of groups has seen it as it is, and where it is now.

The restoration managed to do a lot of good conservation work, which has I believe stood the test of time well but reduced it to a big Airfix kit, and who knows if all the bits that were raised are still with it.

Some bits were in excellent condition. It started off in the right direction but sadly ground to a halt, I am sure taking it apart was the right thing to do to conserve it as I am sure corrosion would have blown it to pieces eventually. Its seems odd that some of the best recoveries are normally a restoration tale of woe like the Loch Doon spitfire, I think they are just too big a project for small groups.

I would love to see some pictures of the 109 if you have some, the more the better!! 🙂
