| BF or ME When is it acceptable to call a ME 109 a BF 109 or vice versa ? Just thought Id start a post cause I always thought it to be either and another post here has shown that it isnt acceptable  |

| Probably the best explanation I can say would be here at this website. Go to articles and then Bf or Me explanation at web site. The 109 Lair- The Online Source for Messerschmitt 109 information Enjoy Micdrow |

  | The official German designation is Bf for anything below -163, after that it is Me. However, when quoting an Allied report it will always almost be Me.

| The actual designation for the 109 is the Bf-109. As pD put out anything from the Me-163 on is designated Me. Anything below from the Bf-162 Jaguar to the Bf-108 is designated Bf.

| Bf like Adler and plan D said, but now why the Bf, I know what you mean with everything below 163, but what does the Bf stand for?
