I'd guess the long one, as the main fuel tank was the height of a sitting pilot.
Yes, I see the tailskid looky-likey, but unfortunately not, and not an antenna cover.Antenna cover?
Tail skid?
It isn't. OK, to be fair, this is not off a manned vehicle, none were at this time but many are now. It is WW2, it had an engine and it did move through the air.Man... you play a mean game.
Something with wing tip?
Very warm. In fact, it gets-very warm!So guided/unguided rocket thingie.. humm v1, v2 perhaps?
Very close. But this is from the research version that developed the tech for the A4.V2 exhaust Guide Vane?
OK, I think we got there. This is an A5 exhaust nozzle control/steering vane. It is solid graphite and this one is numbered 0065. These vanes sat in the high energy gas exhaust from the LOX/Alcohol rocket motor and vectored thrust to guide the Rocket. The A5 was a solution to the failure of the A3 which had aerodynamic problems. The A5 solved most of the aerodynamics and the stab/guidance also developed. The A5 was small-ish, less than 6m, and was a scale A4. In fact, with a recovery parachute, some A5's flew more than once.That makes sense as the part pictured is not the correct shape for the Vane from a V2.
I will drink a beer to my success this weekend.
So I guess that I should tidy this up! Knowing if you have a "real" Bf 109 tank pump is helped tremendously by having that picture of the LONG one. It is 84cm top face to bottom face.Still open for more questions and answers about the fuel pumps. We still have the question about how you know the "Bf 109 pump" is a real Bf 109 pump, the T number question and although ian is absolutely correct about the long pump, one of those other two pumps is also a Bf 109 pump, which is it and what Bf 109?
