Mark,
Not got very much more to add, but I have two published sources which try and list the various Bf109’s in Spain. The most recent, “Condor, The Luftwaffe in Spain 1936-1939” by P.Laureau [Hikoki, 2000] has the following:
- Bf109V-3 – ?
- Bf109V-4 – 6-1
- Bf109V-3 – 6-2
- Bf109V-5 – 6-3
- Bf109B – 6-4 to 6-45
- Bf109C – 6-46 to 6-50
- Bf109D – 6-51 to 6-86
- Bf109E – 6-87 to 6-131
On page 110 of the same volume, there is a single photo of 6-88.
On flicking through the pages of “Jagdwaffe, The Spanish Civil War” by E.Mombeek, on page 172 there is different photo of 6-88 and the caption says that “Oblt Siebert Reents Bf109E coded 6-88 stands ready for action…“
One question back the other way, can you provide more details on the “Peter DuPont lists” you make mention of?
Cheers
