Does anybody know anything about this messerchmit thanks

 

[Wurger]

That's not a Messerschmitt Bf 109. But it seems to be the Bf 108.

That's a Bf-108 Taifun with what appears to be a modified engine... probably something more modern which has a more ready supply of parts available.

Great thanks guys. How about the markings do you know where i can get info from

 

[Wurger]

The aircraft is wearing markings pretending a JG51 kite during the Battle of Britain , judging by the yellow markings on the wing and tail tips.

the pic source: the net.

If the original poster's machine is the same as Wurger's photos - then (to be precise) it's a French Nord 1002 Pinguoin II with a Lycoming motor...

Good catch !

Good catch !

Not really mate. I just remember reading in an old Jane's saying there are very few original Bf-108s still flying but plenty of Nord imposters.
First attempt at a GIF and looking for ways or recognising the difference. Could be my eyes, but the Nord seems wider around the cockpit/engine area?

Yep. However these two planes are very similar in shape. In a result it is quite easy to confuse, especially if you can see their sides..
