This Bf109E of unspecified sub-type was brought down during the Battle of Britain. It was shipped to Australia to assist in air crew recruitment and raise war bonds. 0750, which was built by Erla, was transported to many places in Victoria and Tasmania, suffering vandalism and damage along the way. The aircraft was scrapped after the war. This photo was issued by the RAAF as a postcard and found its way into innumerable Australian households. Photo from: State Library of Victoria

This Me109G-5 was shot down by a USAAF P-47 when operating from Schiphol, Netherlands, on 4 December 1943. The wreckage was salvaged from the soil after the war and is currently being restored. Allegedly, it is the only surviving G-5 model.

Built by Erla in Leipzig in 1943, this Bf 109G of 5./JG 3, based at Schiphol, was shot down by 487 Fighter Sqn P-47Ds over Holland on 4 December 1943. Jan van Huuksloot is on a mission to reconstruct the dug-up pieces, using newly-built structural parts and bits of other Bf 109s.
