The article serie is published in the "Suomen Ilmailuhistoriallinen Lehti" (something like The Aviation history magazine of Finland) and it's written in finnish. To get it you can contact the magazine:

I can only sum up the references I'm aware, I have merely collected data for Raunio, I don't know about other data. Anyway here is a rough summary of those I'm aware:
MT-215 test data
MTT test on G-6/Trop (several configurations)
MTT test on AS proto (contains also G-5 curve)
Erla set (13 samples)
Flugleistungen Me 109G-Baureihen (20 samples)
British tests on G-2 and G-6
Various curves from MTT
His own calculations based on Hörner, DB data and MTT data (and more)

That's exactly what I have been promoting throughout this thread; the authors should check the (unaltered) primary sources instead believing "unconfirmed internet sources" like me, Mr. Kurfürst or Mr. BlauK.
Hopefully it's finaly clear to Mr. BlauK.

If it has not become clear to you yet, I do have the report. If you also have it, you can read it and also find how Kokko reports the 640-690kmh max. speed. That 363kmh can be read from charts.
To me it's unclear if you actually have the report; there is an exact top speed reached in the speed test done in Malmi 5.4.1943 klo. 12.15-13.05 (the only one they made) and it is not "roughly 645 km/h" nor "640-690 km/h" nor "363kmh". Please read it correctly or get the report.

So, are you saying that Raunio has an answer to that particular question of mine. If so, thank, I'll read it when I have time... since you would not give the answer anyway.
I highly recommed reading it, IMHO it's by far best study on the flying qualities of the Bf 109G so far and pretty much entirely based on primary sources.

Thanks for making this personal. If my personality matters you so much, all you need to do is ask it from Mr. LLv34_Camouflage, I have shared some data with him.
