From what I know about the Bf 109V3, it went to Tablada airfield in Spain in December 1936, but was ground looped whilst taxying on its first test flight, exytensively damaging it. Hannes Trautloft was to fly it, but later flew the V4 instead.
What is your source of info on the Versuchs aircraft's movements, might I ask?
Do you know of this site nuuumannn?
Thanks Steve, very useful. I'm still surprised at the amount of misinformation out there and the sheer number of versions of the same story.
At the moment I favour Ritger's narrative, but I reserve the right to change my mind
