stu7708 244 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Love the shots Alan.. Now, did Chuck fly the '109 in? Or was it Dai? Since I had nothing to do with it and Chuck rarely gets airborn, it must have been Dai Link to post Share on other sites
PanzerFodder 0 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hey Alan. Is that one of the clapped out 109's that the Germans gave to the Swiss as an exchange for one of their night fighters that landed had in Switzerland by mistake? Cheer's...Graham...

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks Guys, Graham I think you may be right but that was only the fiorst 14 aircraft, although brand new they had been produced by jewish slave labour and were full of defects which needed to be rectified. due to the cost of doing this the German air ministry refunded half the purchase cost to the Swiss government, Later in 1944 a further 44 aircraft were bought and these stayued in service until 1947.
