Built in September 1942, and in October it was operating with JG77 in Italy and North Africa as 'Black 6'. Discovered abandoned by advancing Allies in early November 1942. It was then operated by 1426 Enemy Aircraft Flight based at RAF Collyweston, for combat trials against Allied types. After a long stored period, airworthy again in March 1991. Damaged at landing in October 1997, it was restored to static display condition. Now display in Hendon Museum.

Photographed in a hangar at the Imperial War Museum during Duxford's Classic Jet and Fighter Display in 1996.

An immaculate restoration job was carried out on this '109, "Black 6", but it was then badly damaged in a landing accident at Duxford in October 1997.

1995 brought a rare sight to Duxford: two airworthy Daimler-Benz powered Bf-109's. G-USTV is an original Bf-109G; D-HDME is a converted Spanish Air Force Ha1112-M1L.

This 109 was built in Leipzig in 1942 and ferried to North Africa, entered service with 8/JG77 and was danaged in combat a few days later. It was flown to Gambut Main for repair but captured essentially intact when this airfield was overrun. She was extensively testes and evaluated before being shipped to the UK where the serial RN228 was allocated. Following a crash at Duxford in 97 it was decided that she should be rebuilt to static display standard and ariived at the RAF Museum in March 02.

Displayed at the 1971 RAF Chivenor Open Day. Later to the RAF Museum Hendon.

Ex III-JG77. Captured and flown by 1426 Flight as RN228 during late WW2. Stored at RAF Henlow and later flown as G-USTV. Now at Hendon.
