    I agree wholeheartedly.

    Aeroplanes are relatively easy to fix.

    Cheers

    I've always wondered what one of those was...

    Will it be repairable to flying condition guys? Just wondering why do they use "Me" and "Bf" to describe the 109?

    Sounds like it should be okay, James, as long as the money is there. Gear collapse and a relatively gentle one at that.

    BF is the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works), which Willy Messerschmitt joined in the 1920s. In the late 1930s, the company was changed to Messerschmitt AG, with Willy becoming Director. Those aircraft that had been designed before this retained the Bf (108, 109, 110 - can't remember any others) on official documents, and the ones after became Me. However, the two became pretty much interchangeable.
