Internet Archive version of the messerschmitt109(dot)com website: messerschmitt109.com
The messerschmitt109(dot)com website, created by Philippe Osché?, has been offline for a few years, around 2015 it seems, but I can not believe all of its information has been lost from the live web. Too much is just copy and pasted wholesale. I am hoping to find a couple of images and if all goes well a live version of the site.
Even with the captions and the aircraft code I am not finding anything that seems to match. Plus the website did look to be a nice one. Would be a shame if all that was left is the remnants at the Internet Archive.
