Pauls9cb Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 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.

Duncan B Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 There are too many waffle shapes between the cockpit and the spinner and the batter was obviously not mixed to RLM specs. Duncan B 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauls9cb Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 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.

qn30jEkPz7 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Late war? Airframe looks well beaten and a bit battered 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtwulf Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 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 .......😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimea River Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Here be your original. It's the ex-Russel Collection 109 now at Biggin Hill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTheBear Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Obviously the little researched Bf 109P, or is it the M, sorry, I tend to waffle on about these things. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDriskill Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) 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.

Pauls9cb Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 well to be coorect, you should write Waffel, Luftwaffel or Waffel-SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPuente54 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 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.
