Missing Bf-109 surfaces in
the UK?
The UK Register shows up a Me-109 that could well be the Missing Bf-109 from
Gulbarga
The case of the Gulbarga Messerschmitt
Bf-109E has been well covered in our pages . Back in
2002, Lynn Ritger of the Bf-109
Lair website had speculated the identity of the Gulbarga Messerschmitt. Lynn had
postulated that the aircraft could be the same aircraft flown by Xavier Ray and its Werk
Number as 4034.
In recent months, the United Kingdom
Civil Aviation register which can be accessed online at http://www.caa.co.uk/ginfo
currently displays the record for G-CDTI,
a Messerschmitt 109 registered in the Channel Islands to Rare Aero company.
The aircraft features the same werk number
as the aircraft proposed by Lynn Ritger - leading to speculation on various internet fora
that this is the same as the Gulbarga Messerschmitt. Rare Aero Ltd, shares the same
address as Historic Aircraf Corporation, which was the company originally stated to have
acquired the aircraft way back in 2002. A cached
google page also seems to point out that the aircraft is the same one from Gulbarga.
