YES! There is a small museum on site I believe?
-
Yeah, I am worried abut that...

That'll do nicely

Good find there chaps!
I've just booked the last twin room at that price. Twin rooms are still available but now listed at £150 for two nights.I'll keep the reservation at Corby for the time being as an insurance policy.

To my knowledge there are currently only three genuine Bf-109s with DB engines, maintained to an airworthy state. Two are Emils, one with the FHCAM museum in Seattle (which is temporarily closed) and the other with the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar which has yet to make it outside the airfield's airspace in the 4/5 years it's been over here. Also In the USA The MAM in Virginia Beach operate a G-4 that was restored by Meier Motors in Germany a couple of years ago, I believe the number of original parts may be minimal and it flies with a later G-model lower cowling, but is still classed as an original 109.
There is also a genuine Spanish Civil War 109E-1 under restoration in Germany for a UK customer that will certainly be something to see when finished.
As Arthur and Nick confirm, there are a number of Buchons converted to Gustav models that are airworthy or undergoing maintenance/restoration.
In Germany:
The Hangar10 collection on the island of Usedom operate a G-6, a merlin powered two seat G-12 (that has flown with a DB) and a G-14.
The EADS Messerschmitt Flugmuseum operate a G-4 (Red 7 that visited Duxford in 2015) and a G-10, both of which are undergoing maintenance. Their G-6 was also recently fully overhauled.Hope that helps.

Where is that?
Northamptonshire Dave, an hour to the West of Duxford and closer to you!

It's also home of the Grace Spitfire / Ultimate Warbirds / Air Leasing and a number of other operators.
Could get busy round those lanes though from what I've heard, they'll probably have to limit the numbers considerably compared to DX.

Here's some footage from Tuesday to whet your appetite for today's mission and to mark the first time both squadrons operated from home base. I hope to capture some combat on film in future missions:

Whoopsie-daisy!
Just been handed this footage by a member of the USAAF 9th AF film crew who had a narrow escape filming P-38s of the 370th FG land after an early November sortie on the frontline.
Pleased to say no injuries reported and only two aircraft written off for spares. We've had a word with his commanding officer, totally irresponsible of him to be out there distracting our pilots whilst busy landing. Their minds are already overloaded by deciding on what to drink that evening.-

Not sure if you're still looking for GK anomalies, but I got a notification of a AAA kill last night that I've not been credited with. Only from a bug-fixing POV
My in-game score was 5 ground kills IIRC and I've been credited with 4.
However, I do seem to remember the final emplacement I attacked followed a run by another pilot, so I presume they inflicted the majority of the damage (and presumably got the credit) - I just finished it off.A similar thing may have happened to you old boy

I'll be there

Welcome to the pound Tony!
I see you've already been exposed to some of us, no turning back now I'm afraid.
See you in the virtual skies tonight

Just treated myself to the Bf109 G-6, La5FN, MC.202 and Yak 1b for under £15. Nice!

I'd be down for this!
We could even continue the call during the dogfight warm-ups so I can shake my fist at Painless as he vulches the soul out of me; the rotten bar steward.

Blimey. I do feel for the TFS guys, it obviously took dedication and a great deal of hard work, but in the end it took so long to release that most have moved on.
I wonder how many fly campaign/single player? I may still try it, sometime...
