Just stumbled on this forum.

Some great details of warbirds that I have not seen before.

It's always interesting to see current era photos of 109s as you really have a feel for how small the aircraft actually is.

Great find Krupi, thanks!

small? it looks huge compared to my iamgination....

i rmemeber the first time i saw a Tank. it was a sherman in london. i was surprised how big it was. i cant imagine how big i tiger could possibly be.

Great photos, thanks.

Awesome stuff, thanks for the link :)

I have stood next to a flyable Emil.

It is tiny by any standard, shockingly so. A Spitfire looks big next to it, and a Spit looks small compared to say a P40 or P51.

Yes, the 109 is a tiny aircraft. IIRC that was a design decision, to make it harder to hit.

i havent stand next a 109 or a spittie yet. but next to a set of spit wings i have, and they were huuuuge.

cnat wait till i go back to england or germany so i can stnad next to beasts.

RAF museum in Hendon, London has an Emil and a G model you can get close to if you get the chance Pupo.Well worth a visit!

I have sat in a few spits....not so huge inside, the hurri 'is' huge and the Mustang isn't exactly small, but the 109 is very diminutive....until it's in the air and you can hear the growl you don't get the warbird vibe.
