Though those Mach number of .89 seems to be a bit on the high side for a propeller-driven aircraft without sweep imo.

no. i was actually under the impression it would be the FASTer diver.

Yep that is very good webpage. Actually i just re-read (again) "Me 109 ja Saksan sotatalous" (Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the German war economy) book wich is biggest single source used to pages and i must say it is certainly one of the best books about BF 109 in my opinion.
