Bah I forget. The 109's have slotted flaps, correct?

Only the later models. Emil was a solid flap.

Me thinks that the early models up to the E had slotted flaps while the F and later had plain flaps.

IIRC no 109 has slotted flaps. The E had a solid flap from root to aileron with ailerons drooping along when flaps where lowered and from F onwards the flaps were in two parts because of the radiators with the radiator part being split and the ailerons no more drooped with flap extraction.

Well, below is the flap sections of the E showing the slotted construction (the ailerons were slotted as well). Source: RAE report on Bf 109E.

Bad link.

All diagrams I've seen, including photos of the real thing, lead me to believe it's just a plain old drop flap.
