A fine example of a restored Second World War fighter is this Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 which was rolled out at RAF Benson on 2 May 1991. ‘Luftwaffe’ enthusiasts will appreciate the accuracy of the markings which depict the original scheme of W.Nr. 10639 ‘Black 6’ of III/JG 77 when flying in support of Rommel's ‘Afrika Korps' in 1942. The overall scheme is ‘Sand Gelb (Temp) 79‘, with ‘Himmelblau 78’on the undersurfaces and fuselage sides. The first airworthy Gustav to be captured intact, the aircraft was shipped to the UK and given the RAF serial RN228 spending the rest of the war as part of No 1426 (Enemy Aircraft) Flight at Colleyweston. The aircraft will fly from Duxford for the next three years before retiring to the RAF Museum for permanent display.
