Messerschmitt Bf 109-Waffle

Perhaps not the appropriate place for something intended to amuse. My brother sent me this photo which appealed to my strange sense of humour. It's perhaps a reality check for the Experten amongst us who often convince ourselves we know an awful lot about rge WWII GAF and Emils in particular. Perhaps a novel joint approach by Willy Messerschmitt and Daimler Benz to experiment with maple syrup as an alternative to 87 gasoline. It's all meant in the best possible taste and I hope it amuses others as it does me. Clever bit of photoshoppery by someone out there, sadly not me.

Glad to see you all joining in the spirit of this. I tried hard to id the actual a/c pic that'd been the basis for some clever photo skills and a sharp sense of humour. Failed miserably but wondered if W Nr 3579 might have been the subject.  Paul

I found this late war picture of an airfield graveyard. Can anyone Identify the second one from the left? It looks like a bomber but the camouflage is all wrong .......😁

I. LOVE. IT. (!)

 

Years ago at an IPMS National Convention in Ohio, a meeting of the German air force research group showed up on the hotel scheduling monitor as “The Luft Waffle Circle.” This is just TOO perfect.

Hi Crimea River - I thought it probably was  W Nr 3579now based as a guest at the Heritage Hangar at Biggin Hill. I'd flipped thru the pics of this a/c on google yeaterday but couldn't find the one you have. Thanks for that. It confirms what I suspected. Cheers - Paul

A little humor is always welcome. My old university room mate's uncle was a pilot in the Luftwaffe(WW2); he would probably agree that the Luftwaffe's command was governed by waffles toward the end.
