Thats an interesting landing the Me109 made. Wonder what happened.

Gnomey · Dec 12, 2005

Nice pics Les!

Not sure what happened, maybe it's nose hit the ground on landing. Whatever happened it made a real mess of the plane.

I would assume he landed off the runway and did the typical -109 nose over... Dudes lucky to survive unscathed...

evangilder · Dec 12, 2005

Definitely lucky. Could have been a ground loop. The 109 was notorious for that problem. Seeing the nose and the tail snapped off makes me think it was a ground loop that caused him to cartwheel.

Reminds me of the damage done to my radio model of a 109 when it sufferd an undercarrige failing to lower and then a wing tip dug in,

ollieholmes · Dec 14, 2005

But it cant be an undercarrige problem as both legs are down. id agree with the ground looping idea.

Les I went back to the first page again on the Luftwaffe emblems : for JG 27
1./JG 27 should read I./JG 27
2./JG 27 should read II./JG 27
3./JG 27 should read III./JG 27
4./JG 27 should read IV./JG 27 although the emblem was hardly worn by the 109's of the gruppe.

Gotcha Erich...

Yea I agree on the ground loop... Looks like he just nosed it over on the soft dirt/mud.....

lesofprimus · Dec 24, 2005

pbfoot · Dec 24, 2005

Agreed, those are cool. The P-47 shot especially.

The gun under the hs129 looks pretty intimidating! Good stuff, Dan.
