The Messerschmitt BF-109G-12 is the trainer version of the Messerschmitt BF-109G. Starting in 1944, some BF-109G-2, BF-109G-3, BF-109G-4, and BF-109G-6's were converted to two seat trainers and designated as BF-109G-12's. A second cockpit was installed for the instructor behind the pilot and a elongated canopy added. The so-called Rustsatze filed modification kits and Umrust-Bausatze factory conversion kits were part of a system promulgated by the RLM throughout the German military aviation industry. The G-12 has had its fuel capacity significantly increased with the installation of an additional fuselage fuel tank taking the new fuel capacity to 320 litres. This is over double the original fuel capacity and now gives the aircraft far greater endurance and hence ease of operation. The ability to fly this ultra-rare and unique Me109 with a Merlin engine provides a more practical and sustainable basis for the operation of the aircraft. The Hangar 10 team are now assessing the possibility of offering passenger flights in the aircraft fitted with the Merlin engine in 2018 and further details will follow shortly. |
