Peter Roberts Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I found this information : http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2010/07/bf109-g-6-of-hptm-gerhard-barkhorn-jg52.html which includes two photos of Barkhorns Bf 109 G6 towards the bottom of the page. It is noted as W Nr 162 198. Can anyone tell me please which manufacturer would have built it? (so I can determine the upper camouflage) Also, was it equipped with a tropical filter? One of the photos appears to show this, or is that my imagination? TIA PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Roberts Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thank you Phas3e - wonderful! Now, tropical filter, or NO tropical filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I dont think the "umbrella stand" means much, theres photos showing them on birds with and without trop filters, I think you can go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just had a look through my folders and found this, https://ibb.co/jkQNVw8 it maybe the same bird, and you can see the mounting points for where to filter was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Roberts Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) This is the photo I am referring to, located here: http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2010/07/bf109-g-6-of-hptm-gerhard-barkhorn-jg52.html Moderators, please remove photo if in contravention of legal requirements Is that a tropical filter on the intake mounted on the cowling panel pointing to the sky?

Phas3e Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It is one of Barkhorns birds but looking closer at other photos with the same crewmen around it the chevrons is slightly different so yeah never mind its a different plane. In regards to the one with the cowl up I'm not seeing a trop filter there, it would be alot longer than that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
