DHP, if you've got any detailed photos of the 109, that'd be great. I've always been intrigued by the 109, ever since I found out when I was at highschool that one of my teachers flew them from early '42 until late '44.
With the DB605 pumping out just on 2,000HP at takeoff and the aircraft weighing 3.5 tons (in the later 109's), all wrapped up in an airframe almost exactly the same size as a Cherokee 6, it must've been one hell of a ride!!!
