This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

No idea on this one... that Wk.Nr. doesn't tally with any I have been able to find. Did it come with a spare DB engine, as it appears to have in your photos? Very interesting, and many thanks for posting.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard, Yes thats a spare DB! She's sporting tags all over, can I look somewhere else for further ID. I thought the works # was important info?..........John

It sounds like a real Werk Nummer, but I couldn't find it on the list of surviving 109s on preservedaxisaircraft.com.

It's a rebuilt Buchon, formerly with EADS.

Still, very cool.

EADS is European Aeronautic Defense and Space company. Numerous mergers of companies which Messeschmitt is now part of.
Messerschmitt AG/Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm/DASA/EADS.

Most probably the photos show this example:

It was rebuild by Arthur Williams in the seventies by using a Spanish Hispano build airframe. First flown in 1982 but crashed 1983. Since then stored elsewhere.
