messerschmitt owner Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi everyone been here before but you seem to have moved and changed since I last logged in back in february or march. Anyway, I'm Campbell - I like green stuff but don't own anything military just now. My wife's dad has been through the green thing - having owned everything from various jeeps to a K2 ambulance, Dodge Weapons carrier, Big Jimmy, Humber Staff Car, Daimler Dingo, etc. I remember going to Sorn to Bobby MacIntyre's collection and have been to various shows at places like Kemble and Glamis (where my wife's dad's jeep won best in show about twenty-five years ago (reg was TMO ***). I've a collection of bubblecars and microcars (so any nonsense and I'll straffe you with my Messerschmitt) and work in publishing, based in Ramsbury for work and living in Gloucester. Best wishes Campbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Welcome back Campbell, We had a big server crash which caused a lot of grey hairs for the mods and admin - except me, it was too late to impact on my natural charm and good looks. Please have a good look reound and re-acquaint yourself with the Clubhouse broom cupboard. There are some marigolds with your name on them. Cleaning rules are much the same since your last visit. We may make a concession and allow your cars in the ballroom. There's plenty of space. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messerschmitt owner Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Welcome return! Do you have reverse on the Bubble cars?,or must we make sure you don't park into the walls? lol - the messerschmitt has four reverse gears and can go faster backwards than forwards due to the aerodynamics - I once trook it to 35mph backwards in third before I chickened out. And thanks for saying hi, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Campbell, would love to have a looksee at your bubble car (can't spell Messerschmitt) lol - a little trivia for you (sorry if some feel it's off-topic). ME163 built by Messerschmitt ME262 built by Messerschmitt JU87 built by Junkers JU88 built by Junkers DO17 built by Dornier FW190 built by Focke-Wulf etc, etc, ad nauseam ... ... but Bf109 and Bf110 - why?

messerschmitt owner Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 that's a nice Trojan - there used to be one about fifteen years ago in camoflague that I saw a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bf 109 was the official Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Aviation Ministry, RLM) designation, since the design was submitted by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke company, and was used exclusively in all official German documents dealing with this aircraft family. The company was renamed Messerschmitt AG after July 1938[4]when Erhard Milch finally allowed Willy Messerschmitt to acquire the company; from that date forward, all Messerschmitt aircraft were to carry the "Me" designation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
