From the Flug Werk website:
http://www.flugwerk.de/new/diary/diary.shtm"Good news can also be reported from the Me 109 as well as the P-51 remanufacturing efforts:
Flug Werk is receiving two reasonably intact Me 109’s at the end of November ‘04.
An “F” as well as an “E”-model. Both aircraft will be restored to airworthiness and the “Friedrich” will form the engineering basis for the rebirth of new Messerschmitt airframes. Along with the exclusive possibility to power the 109’s with all new DB 601 engines, Flug Werk has now the opportunity to revive another very important fighter aircraft of German WII fame. We will report about the project on this as well as on the dedicated Me 109 page in our website in due course.
Further on Flug Werk has received the remains of the Heinrich Ehrler Me 109 G-2 aircraft. This particular Me 109 carried 98 victory marks on its rudder. Eventually Ehrler’s top score was well over 200 enemy aircraft until he decided to end his life in crashing his Me 262 into an attacking bomber. The restoration of his Messerschmitt 109 is an utmost exciting exercise for all of us, as even today one can still feel the historical significance of this famous aircraft. "
