No dont think so.Were early models flown in Russia?
Wasnt that an e3 ?. I have a rapport of that one in russian..Just found this in Wiki so it can't be the above 109
"On 4 December 1937, during the Spanish Civil war, a Bf 109 A-0, marked 6–15, made an emergency landing behind Republican lines. The aircraft was recovered and tested. In January 1938 the aircraft was also evaluated by a French delegation. This aircraft was later sent to the Soviet Union and also tested. During the war this aircraft served with a special Soviet reconnaissance unit equipped with captured German aircraft, before it was captured back by Jg.27."

That was my guess also. Perhaps it is one of the D models used in Poland Sept 1939.Judging by the prop and exhaust pipes shape that's the Bf 109D but not the A-0.

The Russian report IS about E-3 as you mentioned earlier. It's not about a captured A(nton).Captured early Bf109's Knew i posted something here. There is a D in french clothes.

That's the same one as in the pictures I posted. If you check the post you are referring to, these guys also mention that the Russian source "Messerschmitt Bf 109В-1 Испанский пленник, М. Маслов" calls it a B-1. At the end of the notes to the book (just follow the link I connected with the book title) one finds a note about this discrepancy.The early Bf 109 tested in the USSR was the one ...

I remember a very good table from a German(?) book, probably in my collection or posted in a forum, where all Me-109 sent to Spain were listed and the variants were connected with the respective markings. In this case 6-15. I'm not sure where I've seen it but somebody here might remember it as well.
Cheers!
We have had to criss-crossed our posts Yves. I didn't see your while posting mine. Undoubtedly that's the same Bf 109. Also I agree the Russian sources say that was the Berta variant.
