Figured someone out there had some love and respect for the restored 109s flying around. Apparently a 109 which was recently at a Danish airshow in Roskilde had some engine problems and did an emergency belly landing outside the Roskilde airport. Really is a shame with these old planes Taken from the Danish newspaper, Ekstrabladet. Google translation of the article; A plane has crashed outside the airport at Roskilde.
- We are heading there now. We've got a report that there was one passenger in the plane, a German man born in 1962, and that person is not seriously injured, says the head of security at Mid and West Zealand Police Claus Hald Simonsen to Ekstra Bladet.
- In an airshow at Roskilde Airshow plane had been engine problems, so the pilot decided to make an emergency landing on nearby field. The crash landing was carried out by the pilot pulled the landing gear up and made a belly landing, writes Mid and West Zealand Police in a press release.
I just thought, OH NO! An eyewitness told the Ekstra Bladet that the plane must be a German model, which was used during the second World War. A Messerschmitt 109
- The pilot flying first on the head, so he doing some heavy right and left turns. And so I do not know what is happening, but it sounds as if the engine goes out, and when he is flying at very low altitude, so goes the plane quickly to the ground, says Pedersen to Ekstra Bladet.
- I just thought, oh no! It is perhaps the last time I see a plane of its kind in the air. They are very rare, says flyentusiasten and continues:
- Next, I thought of course the pilot. I certainly hope not, that something has happened.
Was used by the Luftwaffe The pilot who flew the old aircraft was supposedly a very experienced master. After the crash, it was announced at the air show that he has 15,000 flying hours behind him, says Jan Pedersen.
The aircraft was manufactured in 1930 and onwards. It was used by the Luftwaffe during the second World War.
It is estimated that produced about 40,000 copies.
And it is precisely this model that crashed hurts in the heart of flyentusiast Jan Pedersen.
Dogs Expensive veteran - I just think that there are about ten pieces back around the world that can actually fly, he says.
According to Jan Pedersen costs a Messerschmitt aircraft in this condition at least tens of millions.
On the plane's website, one can read that the plane has been in service from 1958 to 1965.
After the plane was 'retired' it has been used in the film 'Battle of Britain' in 1969, which had Michael Caine in one of the lead roles.
Now use the plane all of EADS Heritage Flight to shows.

Damn, that's the Rote 7 from EADS. ![sigh sigh](/forum/images/graemlins/default/sigh.gif) I've seen that beauty in flight at the ILA in Berlin last year, together with a Me-262. Unforgettable. Also had a little chat with the pilot, Klaus Plasa who's a very experienced pilot. The damage doesn't look too bad, hope she'll be soaring through the skies soon again.

I would have walked onto that field with reverence knowing that's what it must have looked like 70 years ago in England.

Yep.
The G-4 still had the twin 7.92mm MGs instead of the 13mm MGs of the G6, thus the lack of the characteristic "bumps" on the upper cowling.

Thanks ! the aicraft registration number is a funny one : D-FWME... a tribute to WW2 Jagdflugzeuge obviously.

Doesn't look too damaged hopefully; lucky that there was no fire considering the dry wheat crop. Farmer will be pissed though. looks like a real-life representation of a BoB painting by Nicolas Trudgian or Robert Taylor

Would the wooden prop have contributed to the failure for and, at any time, the reason?
Never thought they were constructed with these.
Just curious.

Just curious. Wooden props were used on many planes during WW2. Many of the Luftwaffe planes had them, Bf-109, FW-190D-9, Ju-88, Ju-87... Not every variants of them, but later ones. Cheaper to produce, and one great advantage, in this kind of situation, is that the propeller will break when hitting the ground with the engine running, preventing lots of damage to the engine itself, compared to metal ones that will bend, twist, and pull great forces on the engine and gearbox. Nice job on bringing the plane safely down, and with what looks like very little damages! I hope this beauty will be flying again soon. I keep very good memories of the time I saw it flying at La Fert-Alais' airshow.

Amazing emergency landing! One of the advantages of smaller, lighter aircraft is you can get away with these sorts of landings with significantly less damage to the aircraft and occupant. Try doing that in an F-4! ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink!.gif)
