Very good bid Snautzer! That is similar but not the parts. Remember, there are two! Try thinking Desert..
BTW, is that the Chino G-10? That could be a really good "original" restoration. I do hope it doesn't get "restored" like the awful ex Yugo ones!

Ok now that you spoon fed it to me, how about a Bf 109 tropical air filter forward mounts? I have never noticed them before. Learned something!

Great catch CammerJeff. Here's are the exterior and interior of a Bf109G cowling where the supercharger intake would be with a Trop filter. Exterior has 4 holes for screws and interior are 4 nut plates. Seems to match what engineman posted.That would be so very sneaky

Nice one cammerjeff! Yes, these are an original pair, again from a dump. You don't see them about.
Here is the partslist illustration, the filter elements are half-cylinders on each side of the frame and were a thin fabric in wire mesh , lengthwise pleated for area. The covers were either louvered or a wire mesh. Clam doors at front were just a close fit, not sealed.
Cheers

Well done to all contributors!
Looking at the Bf 109 F partslist, it shows the Trop parts for the Trop filter in the special parts at the end, but the upper cowlings are all shown the same. So, I think the F and G cowlings came with the eight captive nuts and reinforcement from the time the Trop filter was introduced on the F, until some point in G production, possibly with G-14 when there was no need.

7th October 1940John Vasco perhaps of intrest.
6./ZG26 Messerschmitt Bf110C-7, 3U+JP, W. Nr. 3418. Shot down by F/L M.L. Robinson of No.609 Squadron during escort sortie for II./KG51 attack on Yeovil and crashed at Kingston Russell Dairy Farm, Long Bredy, 7 miles south-west of Dorchester, 4.00 p.m. Possibly also that attacked by F/L F.J. Howell. Pilot Oberfeldwebel Karl Herzog and Bordfunker Obergefreiter Herbert Schilling both killed.
Hello John, it came from Perry Adams, now he's moved abroad. The other is in aunt Philipa's she'd.

OK, that would make that their F-4Trop, which is the one that provided the trop filter to be copied for Black-Six! I fitted that and made it function correctly.

Yes, my Father was missed by an SC50 by about 30 feet in the night bombing of Nottingham 1941. Family were in the cellar, bomb hit the pub next door but one on the end of the terrace. Lucky for him (and me)!

She did a lot of work with Dennis Knight.
And particularly with Peter Foote. If she'd given in to his amorous advances, the Duxford 109 would be in her garage now. Probably for the best!
We're all only here by narrow margins! Rather focuses the interest when it was so personal.

Peter Foote and Dennis Knight negotiated for that 109 to come back to England from the States. It initially was placed at Hurn airfield, if I recall correctly...
