Abandoned Messerschmitt Bf-109's were found and being made flyable. See Peter's log book entry on 10 November 1942. On this day Peter did a 45 min flight with this particular Messerschmitt:
Peter did several flights with his pet Bf-109 until it was crashed by him while engine failure occurred on 8 Dec 1942.
Before paint job.
Looks like the painter busy to finish off the roundels.
Closing up the Daimler-Benz
Freshly painted aircraft. It seems that the red wing tips are also painted on as this was 1 sqdn's custom with all its aircraft. Note the new sqdn Spitfire V's that arrived a few days before this pic was taken.
Peter with 2 mechanics.
Cranking the starter inertia wheel. Note the 2 erks standing/sitting against the tail plane.
Note again the Spitfire on the horizon. The 4th photograph was most probably taken with the camera man standing on top of the truck at the back ground.
