The last pic looks strange … where is the tail fin? The undercarriage? Partially censored? Foam from fire extinguishers? How to scrap Phantoms, Vol.1?
Having built the new Rev*** Dr.I last month, I remember that the parts are … scattered? … all over the world:
The wreckage (already lacking some things like the Balkenkreuz on the rudder) was given to the “3rd Sqn. of the Australian Air Corps” (?), and the most parts are said to be in a museum down under. The engine – Imperial War Museum, the seat – somewhere in Canada. (Aircraft, issue 66, about 1995).

EDIT: Ops, you´re the same Peter Allen … it is easier to resurrect old threads by adding a new post.
Ask Mike J!
Oshkosh 1988 🙂
(a Mike J picture I think)
Thank you Mark,
I should have been so clever, checking my Spitfire-folder prior (to?) posting … They´re not the only TE308 pics I have … Hey, it´s a BoB-movie-Spit! … :rolleyes:
Interestingly, I also have a picture of a Canadian registred low-back-Spitfire serialled TZ138 (not the JR-A one).
Mark12,
that Twinspit, do you know its original serial?
Mark … blue skies forever!

Jim,
I got these from the forum some time ago, but I can´t find the thread via the search tool 🙁 . So I hope the unknown owner of the copyright will forgive me posting them again …
Toronto, June 1972
Thanks Starfire. Not my strongest subject, although I manage to get by when holidaying in der Phalz.

Well, I have to confess, I have 24 years of training.

But I hope you all do understand what I´m writing …
1215hrs: London. Hurricane P2725. 504 Squadron Hendon
Sgt R.T.Holmes (Baled out after aircraft damaged by Bf109, unhurt. A/C crashed in Buckingham Palace Rd)
The same Sgt. R.T.Holmes whose Hurricane was dug up some weeks ago? :confused: He collided with a Do(2)17, cutting off its tail … I think having read about him in Len Deightons Battle of Britain book.

@merlin70: This (nonsense) makes more sense:
Fangt an und vergesst es!
Das ist 64 Jahre her!
Und das [British, A.d.Ü. :rolleyes: ] Empire ist schließlich auch nur noch eine vage Erinnerung.
Das war 64 (vierundsechzig) jahrelang!
Translated: That took 64 years. :p
It was once reported that 25% of all casualties with me 109 was in t/o and landing acidents.. so the longer tailwheel leg was finally introduced.
But why not ever they put on an retractable wheel?
Hmmm, the “K”s finally got them.
