Crashed near St Vincent de Paul Home (near Luqa) during a raid over Malta on 1 April 1942. Unteroffizier Hans Pilz was at the controls, pursuing an RAF fighter at low level when his Bf.109F took hits, presumably from ground fire, and bellied in on a farm. The remains of the aircraft apparently buried at the crash site. Pilz survived the crash relatively unscathed, despite the aircraft flipping on its back; he spent the rest of the war in a POW camp. The remains were found when the site was being excavated on 21 February 2023 and are now at the Malta Aviation Museum.

This Me109G-5 was shot down by a USAAF P-47 when operating from Schiphol, Netherlands, on 4 December 1943. The wreckage was salvaged from the soil after the war and is currently being restored. Allegedly, it is the only surviving G-5 model.
