Bent Messerschmidt
 

Saw a brief article in tonights Eveneing Standard about a bent Messerschmidt that force landed out of White Waltham, any info. anyone???

Was that not about 2 years ago during the shooting of the Pearl Harbor movie?

Hi EGGW

The 'Bent Messerschmidt' was - according to BBC South News- 'force landed near Sonning - after engine problems - the aircraft force landed, and is awaiting checking by an engineer before being flown out of the field'.
The field appeared to be beside the Thames.
I went for a wander along the Thames riverbank this AM - couldn't see it ! - may try the other bank tomorrow !
The pictures showed a Nord 1002 Pingouin in military markings as KG+EM - which is really G-ETME.

Cheers

It's the 108 (post-war licence built with a Lycoming engine) that was featured on the cover of Flyer a few months ago. It's based at Waltham. The crew were reported to be OK, and it sound like the aircraft may be too.

thanks for the replies, at least it wasn't another 109!!
