- 'Black 6' was just one of the 30,000 Messerschmitt Bf109's to enter the luftwaffe service. Today it remains the only flying example in the world, and it probably the most authentic restoration of its type. This film explores and records the painstaking stages of their task, revealing the aircrafts history through WWII archive.

Kudos to the men responsible for rescuing this incredibly significant historical aircraft, a superb specimen, as magnificent as she is rare.
This video is so old it could buy you a beer. I still like it.
Doing a model diorama of "Black 6" based of that photo found in the desert would be interesting to build..
A true testament of so many men focusing on one dream in unison to get the BF 109 back in the air after so long ground bound. Thanks to all and their skills for such a fantastic job. Cheers to you all.
It was a new aircraft when 450 sqn and 3 sqn handed over for evaluation by the RAF. Less than ten hours in the air.
Just fyi ...the aircraft was handed over in 1942.
It was the first "G" model captured and that's the reason the pommies said they wanted it. So it could be sent straight back to England for evaluation.
This was 1942
The evaluation process didn't commence until three years later.
WTF? LIKE SERIOUSLY.
pommies didn't start the evaluation process
It was initailly hidden from the pommies and its existence denied.
They were threatened with being court marshalled by the
pommies if they didn't hand BLACK 6 over !!
FOR THE UNINITIATED
court marshalling in North Africa
During WW2
By the pommies meant being marched out of sight and shot like a mongrel dog by a pommie firing squad !!!
I lived in Cambridge during the 1990's and I watched the Black 6 a couple of times. It sounded real mean when passing over.
How many amazing WW1 & WW2 vintage aircraft & vehicles are in working order today only because of a small army of volunteers, well done.
22+ years - thats dedication! Lovely BF!
Phantastic!!!!! Thanks to you all!!!!!!
Great restoration of a great plane. 👍 Awesome work, guys.
Great job, and yes, the F type was the most elegant of all, but I like the P-51 better.
Nice to see John Dixon after all these years. I bought a BSA Bantam off him at RAF Topcliffe in 1966. Long time ago.
Thank you so much to the people who saved this wonderful piece of Aviation and Engineering History! I wonder how this beautiful beast of magnificent German Engineering would have performed on the superior 100 Octane Fuel that the Spitfires, Hurricanes, P 38's, P 47's , P 51's had had?
@ Rob Miller The Germans had a lack of appropriate alloys, particularly nickel which compromised compression ratios. They went for chemical enhancements instead to boost performance. That said, 100 octane was available in Germany, albeit in small quantities.
@@DannyBoy777777 Danny you are 100% correct! I hope you are Irish!
Cheers the all the people behind the restoration after hearing what happened to it on its last flight
Amazing job....! Espectacular...! Great team work!
Old documentary, but how not to appreciate effort of people who restore 'Gustav'?
German Messerschmidt foundation did the G restaurations.
the bad killer of the skies great vid lucky enough to have seen her flying too, long may it continue, well done all and IWM
Thought this plane was crashed several years ago and is now a static
Amazing Stuff. Congratulations to the team for a job well done.
Wonderful video!
Terrific plane and video.
Excelent job, it is a beauty machine
This is an "official version " of what happened. But what I can"t undestand is the apparent lack of interest by the Germans concerning this iconic aircraft. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/542302aeed915d1371000bdb/dft_avsafety_pdf_501760.pdf
Its amazing that 109's aren't made today, apparently much simpler to build than a spitfire and designed for ease of assembly line production. I love the 109, fly them in flight sims, lethal machine, love the 109 f4.
I think that the reason they aren’t is difficulty in flying it safely due to the torque and also the fact that although the airframe is simple it is still a lot more costly to fly. 109s are not very fuel efficient compared to most general aviation aircraft. The engine would also be extremely expensive as it is a much higher performance engine then what is in most props today. For example a Cessna 172 uses a 160 horsepower engine while as you probably know the 109 has about 10 times that
+ brian williams There are not enough engines left to support a production run of Bf-109s. (I'm surprised with the number of DB engines that have turned up for restorations.) It would be an enormous expense to manufacture new engines, adding that Mercedes very likely still owns the licensing on their engine designs from that time.
@@FiveCentsPlease But would it not be so cool to see them up dated and made easier to mass produce? Imagine a 1800 or 2000 hp db 605 coming off the line, now made with modern tweaks we now have, such as pistons and entire cylinder heads made thru 3d printing and computerized engine management systems they could not even dream of back in the day, the modern db 605 could be made better, cheaper and of superior materials, then crated to await that easily made air frame. We just need a millionaire in search of a purpose!!!
I live down the road from there!!!! That’s so cool 😎
Belo trabalho parabéns a tds 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
The first test flight of the me-19G2 in the redone was on the same year and date as my birthday.
Wow...
Such a shame it crashed thus ending its flying career. It was restored but no longer allowed to fly. It is now preserved in the RAF museum.
it was grounded after the pilot at the time misjudged the landing and flipped over and broke the its back , Perinatally on display at Cosford or Imperial war museum
+bergermeister It was always planned for "Black 6" to permanently retire. I think the accident was on the final flight unfortunately.
Useless pilot🤬
It was a difficult plane to handle.
Is this the F4-Trop?
after seeing this I feel even more sorry and angry at the same time for the lag of competence that lead to the destruction of this machine... ironically it was supposed to be the last flight.
Did he every get a chance to fly the plane?
Golly. It really is just an engine with some wings and a seat attached. What a clever design. There are few adjectives for this team. Fabulous undertaking.
I hope it eventually goes to Germany in exchange for 2 Sea Furies or a brace of Gannets.
It should go to Australia who were the rightful captors of the aircraft.
The 109s used in the Battle of Brittain film are in large pieces in a warehouse in USA
The Bf 109s used in the film were Spanish "Buchon" aircraft. Messerschmitt supplied the airframes to Spain during WW2, but were unable to deliver the DB engines. After the war, surplus Rolls-Royce Merlin engines were fitted and the aircraft was designated as the HA-1112-ML "Buchon" (male dove). You can tell the difference between the Bf 109 and Buchon aircraft as the Daimler-Benz engine runs inverted (exhaust stubs at the bottom) and the Merlin is upright (exhaust stubs at the top).
@@RoyCousins Thanks, that was very interesting.
@@presstodelete1165 They were not in a warehouse but a private hangar owned by one of the movie pilots. They have all been sold and some are already flying again.
It was sad on it's last flight when an arrogant pilot with no vintage aircraft experience pulled rank to fly it. He forgot to open the coolers after take off. The cooling system spit out some water and he panicked. Bringing black 6 in to fast for landing and crashed it. Flipping it upside down braking it's back.
It was restored to display status.
Why they repaer the fuselage with a Part of a buchon 112 IT was the same frame
I'd like to see Black 6 bring down some long tail jets...if you know what I mean...
Then it was crashed in 1997 and all but written off. Sadly. I don t know where the remains are.
How and why did Marc Hannah die?
They fly these old birds until they crash and burn and lost forever they shouldn't be flown at all. Just because you can doesn't mean you should the pleasure of the many should outweigh the thrill of the one. The very reason why so few exist is because more destroyed from crashes than were shot down
What year is this??
Must be from the mid 90s
A bad idiot to pilot destroyd it. ..So it will never fly again. ..but thats also a good thing. ..It become a beauty again. ..and no more crash 😉👍
Where are the guns on the 109
Wings and center of nose depending on the variant

It should have been taken back to Australia as a war trophy but like all things we Australians captured that were of value the British stole it and of course it sits in a British museum even though it is our aircraft.
Say what? Why were you in North Africa? It was none of Australia's business unless you were prepared to serve the king and country of Great Britain. In that case they were your boss and coud do what they wanted. That is how colonialism works.
His Specs make him look like he is Wearing a Snorkel mask for skin diving...
this video is not accurate, black 6 flipped over and was damaged, restored to static and is on display at duxford, as for being the only flier that is innacurate as well , flying heritage museum in everett washington has a bf 109 that flies
Crashed by some idiot high ranking RAF pilot. I don't know why they allow former jet jockeys to fly irreplaceable piston engine warbirds - all jet pilots know what to do when there's a problem is to eject.

I wish they had painted her in Marseilles paint scheme,Yellow 14. One of Germany’s highest ranking aces that flew in North Africa. 158 victories.. He died at only 22 years old. Killed not by the Allies hand but by his own airplane.
Then it wouldn't be historically correct, and the history of the plane and pilot would be probably forgotten, sometimes a plane related to a unknown pilot can be more interesting than one from one of the most popular.
@@martimhenriques1169 I understand your point. It would be nice to see one of Germany’s highest ranking Aces reflected here. Most war birds aren’t painted in its original paint scheme though. I love the desert tan scheme though.
@@fw1421 that's a shame many restorations are guided by the urge to represent the most infamous soldiers of the war, the real story of the aircraft and pilot gets faded and ends up in oblivion. The original livery is what gives character to the machine, never let history die. You would like to see Marseille's livery represent on the aircraft but that's not historically accurate, and you surely know that the aircraft was completely destroyed.
Ok, who was the german ace?
@@conceptalfa Hans Joachim Marseille. 158 kills at 22 years old. Killed by his own airplane.

It was descoverd by the AUSTRALIANS we should of had it and it was flown by AUSTRALIAN pilot bobby gipps RAAF
Agreed, it should be in a museum in Australia or at the War Memorial in Canberra
Also agree, it should be repatriated to Australia as we are the rightful captors and owners of the aircraft.
