Spit P*orn and BoB stuff from the BBC

They weren't discussing 109e's specifically though - they were talking about 109's in general.

I'm fairly confident that Bader and Tuck knew their 109s - perhaps not as well as your average banana forumite of course, what with his unfailing knowledge of all things botanical or aeronautical - but they did their best I'm sure and that's the main thing.

If only the banana forum could have flown in 1940! Thing would have been so different. A few proper experts about.

I found this in "Spitfire vs Bf109":
The DB601Aa engine intended for the E-3 could mount an MG FF 20mm cannon on its crankcase, the weapon in turn firing through the airscrew hub. However, the problems of vibration, seizing and overheating that had beset the engine-mounted MG FF persisted, and was rarely used in frontline service.

This video is awesome.

Did you see those booster/take off "jets" on that seafire?

Also, the story of that ride on the tail is really incredible! wow
