It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I tried that URL without the image, and got:

Damn thats fine!.  The pic with the Spit is beautiful!!  What a colorful place the skies over europe must have been.  It's hard to picture from the photo's of the time, but these really bring it out.

Thank you for posting.

Some suggestion that Mersailles flew that one at one point during the B of B.

Paul Allen has a flying 109E now too and there was a B of B vet 109E found in India of all places that is now in England being restored.

And there is another that was pulled from a Russian lake that is clearly a potential flyer should the money get there for the restoration

Thats the accepted history of the plane, it was one of Marseilles mounts when he was stationed in France, it was transferred east for Barbarossa at some point and lost over Russia, then recovered and restored in its Western Front markings.

I've never seen what it looked like on the Eastern Front though.

     I'm pretty much giving up on the Russell Group.  I'm sure I'd be careful
too..but their no-show record is beginning to wear.

Yeah, what about the Fokker?
I have seen one (even looping) as well as a 3 formation of SE5's flying.
Wanna go to Duxford when I'm dead :D
