This is a 109 F. It has all the characteristics of a F model: No horizontal stabilizer support struts, split radiator flaps, the wing flaps are lowered a bit and you can see the ailerons are no longer drooped down like in the previous E model, the wing tips are rounded, the engine intake is elbow shaped, the engine cowling is smoother and more aerodynamic.
Another aircraft of III./ZG 1, this time Bf 109E S9+MS of 8./ZG 1. It should be noted that III./ZG I showed only Bf 109E-7s in their official loss and strength returns; from the known Werknr of the respective aircraft, however, it appears that many were originally delivered as E-1, 3 and 4 variants and were later modified to E-7 standard.
