You're right! I got the pics mixed up!!!

 

[Wayne Little]

ok then...where's the unmixed up pic? ....

 

[N4521U]

This was Prillers Bf-108 while he lived in Canada.
Does anyone have any photos of it. He must have shown it at air shows in the cold cold North?
It's in the HARS collection and the only one in Oz. It's being slowwwwwly restored to flying condition, after a crash landing somewhere in Australia.

*********My what a mistake.... this was Franz Stiglers plane when he lived in Canada!!!!!! Silly me.

sorry Chris, Herbert Ihlefeld's Bf109E-3

 

[le_steph40]

Yes, it's Ihlefeld's aircraft, but Bf 109E-1 w.nr.6095 during July 1941 at Jassy, Romania.
The old one of Priller flown by Ihlefeld was E-3 w.nr.5057 during April 1941 at Larissa, Greece.

 

[Njaco]

That may be why I had it confused. Thanks!!!

Then it's a modified E-1 as it definitely has wing mounted cannons and lower wing bulges.
