  Ladies and Gentlemen,

  Welcome to November! In today’s

  newsleer, you’ll nd something out

  about this year’s Iron Bunny contest,

  which, as usual, was an awesome

  event with a great atmosphere. This

  year, the teams built a Mustang.

  That was no real shock to anyone,

  but given that what was ancipated

  in past years was not always reali-

  sed, there was sll an element of

  doubt. But, it happened. Building

  the Eduard Mustang in 24 hours,

  albeit without an engine, which is

  not yet available, is a major spor-

  ng feat, one that was put forth by all

  eight teams. Just as E-day, this year’s

  Iron Bunny is a big challenge for next

  year’s event, and this year’s contest

  will be tough to beat. Having alrea-

  dy menoned E-day, I would like to

  say that I am toying more and more

  with the idea that maybe, aer all,

  there should be some tweaking of

  the point system in use. It occurred

  to me while witnessing the points

  awarding process in the Iron Bunny

  event. The system is largely based

  on a process of eliminaon, sear-

  ching for mistakes. Maybe, it would-

  n’t be a bad idea to try and reverse

  it a bit, and base it on a search and

  assessment of posives aspects of

  a build. I think that perhaps, such

  an approach might do much for the

  interest and aracon of model

  contests. I realise that a cricism

  can drive the cricised forward, but

  I don’t see this happening so much

  in reality. I don’t know of too many

  cases, where cricism has led the

  cricised into subsequent projects,

  that will in turn generate only fur-

  ther cricisms. On the other hand,

  I have seen many mes where

  the cricised has oered sarcasc

  thanks, and then proceeded to tell

  the judge to kindly take his cricism

  and shove it up his …….... (censo-

  red). I am beginning to think that the

  future of our hobby is not so much

  about new kits being oered to be-

  ginners, but oering enough praise,

  and general posive feedback, to

  beginners and advanced modellers

  alike. And, by the way, this goes for

  reviewers as well. Thank you, boys,

  for pushing us forward, but please,

  it’s geng ring. Learn to say so-

  mething nice. Take it as a chance to

  learn something new!

  In this newsleer, you’ll nd two

  arcles of note. The rst one is

  a historical piece tled ‘Friedrich-Karl

  Muller’, a Wilde Sau and Mosquito

  ace by Neil Page. It is related to night

  ghng Wilde Sau missions and to

  our new Bf 109G-6/AS. The second

  arcle, or more accurately, report,

  comes from Marn Ferkl, and descri-

  bes the compleon of the restora-

  on of the world’s only surviving and

  preserved He 219 at the Udvar-Hazy

  Centre NASM in Maryland. When we

  le Chaanooga this year, we had

  a chance to spend an evening at the

  centre, witnessing the installaon of

  the engines into the Uhu, and I goa

  say, what an evening it was!

  November’s new items are now

  available, including sets for two sig-

  nicant new items, the P-38F/G from

  Tamiya in 1:48th, and for Kinec’s

  F-104G in the same scale. For the

  Starghter, we have photoetched

  and mask sets, including STEELBELTS

  items, and interior and exterior TFace

  masks, as for the P-38, add to that

  two LooK sets, resin wheels and gun

  muzzles. More items can be expec-

  ted in the coming months, Decem-

  ber 2019 and January, 2020. Other

  noteworthy November sets include

  items for the Me 262A in 1:32nd

  scale for the Revell kit. For Czech

  modellers, given the recent decision

  on the purchase of the AH-1Z for the

  Czech Air Force, sets for the Acade-

  my kit of this aircra in 1:35th sca-

  le will be aracve. In 1:48th scale,

  we have a revitalised set for Tamiya’s

  G4M. In 1:35th scale, you’ll nd two

  sets, ammunion boxes for the Hu-

  mmel from Tamiya and a set for the

  2S35 cannon from Zvezda. In 1:72nd,

  we are releasing new sets for the

  Lancaster B.Mk.I/III from Airx, and

  in the ship department in 1:350th,

  we have completed the second of

  two sets for the Brish heavy cruiser

  HMS Cornwall. Noteworthy are also

  the new Brassin wheels (P-51D Poin-

  ted Cross Tread) and gun bays for our

  48th scale P-51, along with two sets

  for the MiG-23BN in 1:48th covering

  the intakes and exhausts. There are

  four new BigEds, including a collec-

  on of sets for the Si-204 from Special

  Hobby (1:48th). Again, there is only

  one new BigSin, the Bf 109G-10/U4

  ESSENTIAL in 1:48th.

  We have the usual four new kits

  for the month. Being released now

  is the Bf 1090G-6/AS (ProPACK

  1:48th) that was originally to be

  out in August. This is a kit of an in-

  teresng subject with a selecon of

  some striking marking opons. The

  Bf 109G-6/AS and Bf 109G-14/AS

  were a passionate request of us

  expressed on various modelling

  forums. In 1:72nd scale, we have

  a reboxing of the MiG-15bis, reple-

  nishing stock of the same sold out

  item in the same line. It’s not rea-

  lly a straight re-pop, though. It has

  a new boxart, a new marking selec-

  on and a new catalog number. There

  is a Weekend Edion kit of the Fok-

  ker Dr.I in 1:48th and an F6F-5 Hell-

  cat in the newly conceptualised SU-

  PER44 line, relang, of course, to the

  scale of 1:144th. These moulds have

  been used by Platz.

  There are some interesng new

  BFC items as well. There are two pub-

  licaons available, ‘Riders in the Sky,

  1944’ (BFC095) and ‘BEDNA MiG-

  -23MF/ML’ (BFC096). A third publi-

  caon ‘MF/MiG-21 (Second Edion)’

  will be available under the catalog

  number BFC098. On the occasion of

  the decorang of Mr. Kurt Taussig,

  we are releasing a kit of his Spiire

  Mk.IX, which he ew in Italy with

  No.225 Squadron. In 1:72nd scale, it

  is being released under the catalog

  number BFC 091, and in 1:48th sca-

  le, BFC092. There are also two new

  variaons of kits being released for

  the BFC, one each for the MiG-15bis

  and Bf-109G-6/AS. All of these new

  addions and oers to the BFC re-

  present the highest volume of items

  dedicated to that now very popular

  instuon. To top it o, on Novem-

  ber 20th, on the anniversary of the

  creaon of the Bunny Fighter Club,

  we will be releasing two new Ad-

  missions Models, the long awaited

  P-40E in 1:32nd and MiG-21MF in

  1:72nd. In the spring, we would

  like to release another two such

  items, one in 1:48th and the other in

  1:35th, which will be the also long-

  -awaited re-ghng-agricultural

  Sherman from Obrnice.

  November is a busy month in

  terms of modelling events, too. The

  most signicant of these is Scale

  Model World in Telford and we will

  again be there, but with a new team

  represenng our rm. Both Petras,

  Pavlickova and Solcova, will be there.

  Our trip to Telford is somewhat com-

  plicated by the events surrounding

  Brexit, and we hope that this won’t

  have any major adverse eects on it.

  SMW will also have the usual Aer-

  party event associated with it.

  At the same me as our team from

  Telford returns home, there will be

  a small celebraon on November

  11th, Veteran’s Day, at Peace Square

  in Prague (Names Miru). This will

  be our rst me taking part in this

  commemoraon and we hope that

  we can, in same small way, add to its

  success.

  On November 30th, we will, of

  course, be in Braslava, with our

  new items for December, including

  the Royal Class P-51D Mustang kit,

  and a lot of new items for not just

  the Mustang, but also the P-38 from

  Tamiya and the B-17G from HKM.

  This is the ‘Plasc Winter’ event,

  and will also have its own Aer-

  party, associated with Black Friday.

  In December, we will also repeat last

  year’s sell o of older in-stock items,

  as long as there is something to sell

  aer the retailers go through every-

  thing on our e-shop.

  So, here’s to a happy November,

  my friends!

  Happy Modelling,

  HISTORY

  Leading wilde Sau night ghter ace Friedrich-Karl Müller was

  an experienced Lufthansa pilot before the war and one of the

  founder members of Jagdgruppe Herrmann, forerunner of the

  original wilde Sau Geschwader JG 300. He went on to command

  two of the Luftwae’s specialist Mosquito-hunting (Moskito-

  Jagd) units, 1./NJGr 10 and I./ NJG 11. Müller achieved around

  30 victories in only 52 combat ights in what must have been

  one of the most dicult forms of combat ying - ‘unguided’

  night-time freelance hunting in a single-engine ghter.

  The idea to deploy single-engine ghters at night is largely

  credited to decorated bomber pilot ‘Hajo’ Herrmann. He

  proposed ying the standard single-engine day ghters of

  the Luftwae at night as a means of making up for a general

  shortfall in night-ghter production. The German High

  Command authorised him to begin testing his theories in the so-

  called Nachtjagdversuchskommando Herrmann, (Night ghter

  Test Detachment Herrmann) Herrmann’s unit based at Bonn

  Hangelar comprised ex-bomber and Lufthansa pilots who were

  experienced in blind ying techniques and would be deployed

  to attack RAF bombers visually- at night. On 24 July 1943, the

  RAF had escalated their night bomber oensive with the launch

  of a series of raids against the port city of Hamburg. The raids

  were signicant for the rst successful deployment of ‘Window’-

  tiny strips of metal foil - which, cut to the right wavelength,

  successfully jammed German radar equipment. The attack

  and the resulting restorm, which caused huge loss of life and

  damage to industrial installations, accelerated testing then

  being undertaken by Herrmann’s pilots. These trials had met

  with some success- on the night of 3/4 July during an attack

  on Cologne Herrmann’s pilots destroyed six bombers, including

  one brought down by Herrmann himself, for the loss of just one

  machine.

  Operating with the aid of searchlights or the light from

  ares and thus independently of radar- this method of attack

  – free hunting - was dubbed ‘wilde Sau’ or ‘wild boar’ night

  ghting. The relative success of these early trials with what

  became known as ‘JG Herrmann’ led to the establishment of

  Herrmann’s Jagdgeschwader 300 – the rst Luftwae night

  ghter Geschwader equipped solely with single-engine ghters.

  Although they had few aircraft of their own at the start, JG 300

  ew both types of Luftwae primary frontline ghter, the Stab

  and II. Gruppe nally being equipped with Fw 190s, whereas

  I. and III. Gruppen ew Bf 109 Gs. Oblt. Friedrich-Karl Müller

  was appointed the unit’s technical ocer. Müller ew both the

  Bf 109 and Fw 190 whilst serving with the Geschwaderstab JG

  300. Call sign ‘wilde Sau 3’ his Fw 190 A-6 ‘grüne 3’ WNr 550

  717 was lost on the night of 22 October 1943 whereas ‘Green

  3’ WNr 550 453, displayed details of his 19 nocturnal victories

  on its rudder. One of the unit’s most notable initial combat

  actions came on the night of 17/18 August 1943 during the raid

  on Peenemünde. JG 300 reported four victories, including two

  downed by Müller ying a Fw 190. On the night of 23/24 August

  JG 300 pilots shot down 13 RAF “heavies”, including a triple

  returned by Müller (Stab JG 300) and Lt. Robert Plewa of 2./

  JG 300. During another major action (5/6 September) JG 300

  again reported 13 kills. That night Müller claimed a Halifax and

  Stirling, followed by two Lancasters 24 hours later. Such were

  the successes of Müller and JG 300 that orders were issued to

  form another Wilde Sau unit – JG 301, followed in November by

  a third, JG 302.

  However with the onset of poorer autumn and winter weather,

  attrition began to take its toll. Takeos and landings at night on

  dimly lit airelds in a single-engine ghter for a sixty-minute

  sortie on instruments in often atrocious weather conditions

  required considerable feats of airmanship and accidents were

  a frequent occurrence. The Bf 109 especially gave its pilots

  potentially lethal handling diculties to contend with - its small

  wing, narrow-track undercarriage, an overloaded airframe and

  large engine driving a broad-three-bladed propeller gave it

  a nasty tendency to swing badly on take-o and landing. Short

  on range, a single-engine ghter could ice up dangerously

  quickly when climbing through the cloud layer. The more

  heavily armed Fw 190 was sturdier and, equipped with a 300

  litre Zusatztank (drop tank) to extend endurance, enjoyed

  a reasonable loiter time over any supposed target area. The

  only navigation aid for the wilde Sau – aside from corridors of

  searchlights – were radio beacons and the onboard radio, short

  on range and liable to heavy jamming by the British. But even

  HISTORY

  if getting airborne, navigating and attacking a huge bomber

  stream were accomplished successfully, trying to then locate

  an aireld to put down on in the dark would become something

  of an exploit for all but the most procient of pilots.

  While the backbone of the Wilde Sau units were seasoned

  blind yers, losses led increasingly to numbers of younger pilots

  being ‘blooded’, such as Feldwebel Walter Schermutzki who

  ew his rst combat sortie with JG 302;

  “.. my rst posting as a wilde Sau pilot was to JG 301

  in November 1943 before I moved to 4./ JG 302 based in

  Ludwigslust. By that stage of my career as a edgling night

  ghter I had own some twenty night training missions in

  the Bf 109- it was barely enough to be able to control the

  aircraft. At 02:00 on the morning of 24 December I was put

  on readiness. At 03:10 I went out to my aircraft, “White 3”,

  and climbed up into the cockpit by torch light – I could see the

  frost glittering on the wings. My comrades were dispatched

  one by one into the night at ve-minute intervals and then it

  was my turn. As soon as I was airborne I received instructions

  to head for Leipzig where the ‘rework display’ of RAF markers

  had started. However this proved to be a diversion. Thirty

  minutes later instructions came over the frequency to head

  for Berlin. By that stage I could hear from the communications

  that Ju 88 and Bf 110 night ghter Gruppen were also en route

  for the capital. Fifteen minutes later I was over the city – it

  appeared to be a vast mosaic of res. Against the orange glow,

  the searchlights sweeping the sky, the explosions of the ak

  and streams of tracers lent the scene a fantastical appearance.

  I orbited for some time, encountered a twin-engine machine

  that I identied as a Bf 110, but gradually the anti-aircraft

  re died down and the searchlights went out one by one. The

  English raid had nished. We’d arrived on the scene too late.

  I landed at Brandis at 05:20. My next wilde Sau sortie was own

  on 6 January 1944. The sky was clear of clouds and the full moon

  provided exceptional visibility when I took o at 03:15. That

  night I was ying “White 11”, tted with two 20 mm cannon

  mounted in underwing gondolas. I was instructed to orbit

  beacon “Siegfried” north of Berlin. Now and again I waggled

  my wings to try and prevent ice forming and at around 04:00

  I was ordered to head at full speed to Stettin. I arrived there

  some twelve minutes later – the sky was full of contrails. Then

  I saw them – Lancasters! They were ying in groups of twenty

  aircraft. I misjudged my rst pass since I was going too fast

  and went right through a group – these were huge machines so

  close up. Streams of tracers snaked out around me, my 109 was

  rocked by several jolts. Weaving violently I pulled back around

  and came back under the bombers opening up with my MGs and

  cannon. I saw four or ve small explosions in the fuselage of

  my victim, who pulled up into a climbing turn but then I lost

  him in cloud. I was sure that he was crippled but I noted my oil

  temperature rising and had to break o. Coming in to land at

  Werneuchen, my port gear leg refused to come down and I had

  to go around. Over the frequency I asked for the aireld lighting

  to be illuminated. Suddenly, searchlights and runway markers

  were lit up and signal ares red o. I came in on one wheel,

  stick held hard over, keeping the port wing o the ground for as

  long as possible, before violently ground looping. I managed to

  extricate myself from the cockpit. My rst thought was to have

  a pee. It was then as I stood there that I heard the approaching

  roar of engines, the aireld lights snapped out and suddenly

  an aircraft ashed low and fast across the eld, machine guns

  blazing away – a Mosquito!”

  Schermutzki’s rst encounter with the ‘scourge of the

  Luftwae’ – the Mosquito- was a portent of things to come.

  Capable of out-running the latest Luftwae ghters and hauling

  a bomb load of 1,800 kg, even a lone Mosquito could send

  entire city populations to the air raid shelters and proved a

  real thorn in the night defences of the Reich as they carried

  out night-time bombing raids and reconnaissance sorties on an

  almost daily basis during the last two years of the war. From the

  summer of 1943 special day ghter units had been formed to

  combat the Mosquito menace - Hermann Graf’s JGr. 50 enjoyed

  a spectacular lack of success against the fast British twins.

  The wilde Sau units, JG 300, 301, and JG 302 had likewise

  claimed barely a handful of Mosquitoes shot down since their

  formation – Schermutzki recalled only one success during this

  period, Ofw. Karl Deissinger claiming a Mosquito shot down near

  Wittstock during March 1944. Uz. Hans Brandlein shot down

  on 6 January 1944 over Stettin had almost certainly fallen to

  a Mosquito, his machine exploding in the air, debris being found

  over a 500-metre radius, while Gruppenkommandeur II./JG 302

  Hptm. Colling was lucky to escape unscathed from a dogght

  with a Mosquito on 24 February 1944 in the region of Sylt. Even

  the more successful pilots of II./JG 302 would have their hands

  full when up against the Moskito; Ofw. Kurt Welter had claimed

  two Lancasters during the night of 2-3 December 1943 which

  took his score to eleven, all returned during wilde Sau sorties,

  but up against one of the fast British twins on the night of 21-22

  January 1944 over Magdeburg, the RAF bomber had managed to

  give him the slip. Schermutzki recalled;

  “.. I ew two Mosquito-hunting sorties on 20 and 23 April

  over Berlin and Magdeburg, returning empty-handed on both

  occasions. On 9 May 1944 I was in pursuit of a Mosquito west

  of Berlin. At an altitude approaching 10,000 metres my poor

  old Gustav was struggling to keep up – I could barely reach

  520 km/h. The radio interference that night was particularly

  eective; all I heard was ‘wilde Sau 15, he’s directly ahead of

  you!’ It was then that I caught sight of a contrail up ahead and

  at higher altitude. I turned for home in disgust and landed back

  at Ludwigslust at 01:10..”

  However during early 1944 the weight of the Allied air

  oensive was such that the wilde Sau Gruppen increasingly

  found themselves turned over to day sorties. III./ JG 300 at

  Jüterbog-Waldlager was one such wilde Sau unit converted to

  the day ghter role. However most of the pilots had little or no

  notion of day ghter combat.

  Schermutzki recalled;

  “..We ew a few formation exercises during June which

  served little purpose. I ew my rst day sortie at the controls

  of “Yellow 6” on 20 June 1944 as number ‘3’ in Oblt Gottuck’s

  Schwarm. We were escort for heavily armed Me 410s. We were

  closing on a Pulk of Liberators over Lake Muritz when a shouted

  warning came over the radio, “Mustangs!” At that moment it

  was every man for himself! Fortunately I managed to land

  unscathed back at Jüterbog. The following morning we were

  airborne again as escort for the Me 410s, making visual contact

  with the Americans at 6,000 metres altitude over Neuruppin.

  Climbing hard I came back around to attack a box of Liberators

  over the Oder, Gottuck following my every move. He obviously

  reckoned I was more experienced than he was! At 700 km/h

  I opened up with everything and watched my re slam home.

  Parachutes started to appear as the giant machine that had

  been in my sights slowly rolled over on its back and plunged

  earthwards. It came down at Zossen. Back at Jüterbog Gottuck

  congratulated me on my ‘victory’ and assured me that he

  would try everything to get me back into a wilde Sau unit.

  I didn’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not.

  As it happened the next sorties I ew with III./ JG 300 were

  all at night, chasing Mosquitos. I was airborne on 8, 18, 22 and

  24 July over Berlin without sighting a single Mosquito. Each

  sortie played out in similar fashion; airborne under clear skies

  to loiter at 9,500 metres over Berlin. The Mosquitos would

  drop their bombs at 8,000 metres. Unfortunately I was always

  given a reciprocal heading which meant that I only ever saw

  the Mosquitos’ contrails. Later that summer our Kommandeur

  Hptm. Iro Ilk summoned me to his oce and told me I was

  heading to a new unit being established for single-engine night

  ghters..”

  Given the option of converting to the day ghter role or

  remaining night ghters, the more procient of the wilde Sau

  pilots were detached to form a new specialist single-engine

  night ghter unit, 1./NJGr.10- under Hptm. Friedrich-Karl

  HISTORY

  Müller. This unit’s initial complement of pilots and machines

  was established by the simple expedient of siphoning o

  elements of I./ JG 300. One of the primary roles of this unit was

  to develop tactics with on-board radar systems – the principal

  weakness of the wilde Sau ghters through the winter of 1943

  had been their ‘blindness’ in inclement weather - but NJGr. 10

  was soon largely turned over to combating the RAF’s Mosquito

  bombers, the scourge of the Luftwae ghter force during the

  last two years of the war.

  The new 1./ NJGr. 10 was equipped with the latest high-

  altitude and high speed models of the Bf 109. The Bf 109 G-6/

  AS (‘S’ for Sonder or ‘special’) rst entered service during

  May 1944 These rst Erla-refurbished/built aircraft were

  manufactured at the Erla VII plant in Antwerp. Peter Schmoll in

  “Me 109 Produktion und Einsatz” indicates that Mtt Regensburg

  constructed 325 examples of the G-6/AS during 1944. The

  variant was powered by the DB 605 AS engine, a stop-gap

  development which featured a larger blower taken from the DB

  603. The bigger intake required a larger port-side engine bearer

  arm which in turn resulted in the new rened cowl shape, the

  so-called asymmetrical ‘Ballungen’ ahead of the cockpit. The

  G-6 MG cowl ‘bulges’ were dispensed with so that this variant

  was essentially ‘Beulenfrei’. It was chiey developed - aside

  from on-going issues with the DB 605 D engine - to fulll

  a high-altitude interceptor role, the so-called “Höhenjäger”.

  Other features of the G-6/AS included wider propeller blades,

  a clear-vision canopy and in most cases a deeper oil cooler. The

  bigger engine also required the larger ‘aufgestockt’ tailn to

  compensate for handling. With a new high-performance engine

  and MW 50 power boost the Bf 109 could once again compete

  on equal terms with the latest Allied ghters. On paper at least,

  these G-6/AS and later G-10 variants now possessed a turn of

  speed which enabled them to catch a Mosquito - provided they

  were loitering at high altitude along one of the many ‘corridors’

  through which the Mosquitos penetrated German air space on

  their night raids.

  Fw. Fritz Gnike was one wilde Sau night ghter to join

  Müller’s 1./ NJGr.10;

  “ ..following two months rest and convalescence

  I resumed combat ying during July 1944 and was posted to

  Nachtjagdgruppe 10 in Bonn where I met up again with my

  old comrade Kurt Welter. By this time he had accumulated 22

  victories and in two day sorties on 18 and 19 July had even

  managed to add three Mustangs to his tally.. NJGr. 10 ew the

  latest model of the Bf 109 - the folding hood no longer featured

  the heavy metal framework of previous versions. However even

  better for us was the improved supercharger which enabled

  higher top speeds and a ceiling of some 14,000 metres - during

  a check ight on 3 August 1944 I reached a speed of 680 km/h

  at more than 6,000 metres altitude. I had never own at these

  sorts of speeds in a 109! On 13 August 1944 our Stael moved to

  Rheine and on 15 August at 23:30 I was scrambled to intercept

  a Mosquito. The controller gave me a vector that took me over

  the Ruhr where I orbited at 9,000 metres. I was given constant

  changes of heading - our radar posts evidently had their work

  cut out trying to pinpoint the English pilot. The night sky

  was exceptionally bright - visibility was at least 5 km. After

  60 minutes of fruitless orbiting I returned empty-handed to

  Rheine. Here I learned that Kurt Welter had just brought down

  his rst Mosquito following a chase that had taken him north

  of Hanover. This feat was of course celebrated in due fashion

  as the occasion warranted - certain pilots including even our

  Kommandeur Hptm. Friedrich-Karl Müller were soon very much

  the worse for wear and took the best part of a day to get over

  their hangovers....”

  HISTORY

  Bf 109 G-6/AS “Red 2” (WNr. unknown) was own by Friedrich-

  Karl Müller, CO of 1./NJGr 10 during July and August 1944.

  The rare photos reproduced here (via Jean-Yves Lorant) were

  taken on the occasion of the visit of Müller’s wife and son to

  Werneuchen during the summer of 1944. The very large bunch

  of owers was most likely presented to mark the ace’s award

  of the Ritterkreuz during July 1944 for 23 victories which was

  followed shortly thereafter by his promotion to command I./

  NJG 11. Müller’s 24th victory on 23 August 1944 was his rst (and

  only?) Mosquito. He made at least six ights with this Bf 109

  G-6/AS “Red 2” from 26 July 1944, including two combat sorties

  from Werneuchen during the night of 27-28 July 1944. These

  Moskito hunting missions were timed at 00h03-00h44 and then

  from 01h10-01h53 followed by landings back at Werneuchen in

  both cases. Both sorties were evidently unsuccessful. According

  to his ‘erster Wart’, Gefreiter Hans Knott, it was this same

  ‘Red 2’ which was then repainted ‘Green 3’ early in September

  1944 when Müller took over I./NJG 11 and elected to re-use his

  preferred number.

  I./NJG 11 was established in early September 1944 by

  expanding Müller’s 1./NJGr. 10 to Gruppe strength. The unit

  shifted back to Bonn-Hangelar before moving to Biblis near

  Mannheim. During this month the pilots were scrambled on no

  fewer than eight anti-Mosquito missions without even catching

  sight of the elusive RAF foe. Also in September 1944 Feldwebel

  Walter Schermutzki was assigned to I./NJG 11 and recalled;

  “ ..in September 1944 NJGr.10 was re-designated I./NJG 11

  and ‘ocially’ became a Moskito-Jagd Gruppe . I was posted in

  and arrived at Biblis on 27 September. Here we ew the latest

  Bf 109 G-14/AS and G-10 models powered by up-rated engines

  for high altitude combat. Lone Mosquitoes soon appeared over

  the aireld to harry us with bombing or strang runs and our

  Kommandeur, Hauptmann Müller had to insist on take-os in

  total darkness – a procedure that still makes my hair stand on

  end when I think about it! A searchlight some three kms from

  the aireld in line with the runway axis was switched on for one

  minute, pointing vertically up into the night sky. When the beam

  was lined up in our windscreen, we could open up the throttle,

  trying all the while to keep the beam in the windscreen. Most

  take os were completed on one wheel - on the rst bounce

  we held the stick back two centimetres and climbed out at 10

  metres/second. The searchlight was extinguished the moment

  we overew it. One night in October 1944 I got my own back

  on the Mosquitoes. At an altitude of 9,000 metres I managed

  to cut across the turn of a lone intruder, activated the power

  boost and came in behind a twin-engine machine weaving

  to avoid the searchlights. I opened re with my cannon and

  twin cowl MGs and saw two explosions on his port wing. He

  instantly pulled into a hard turn to starboard but I followed

  him, still ring. He was suddenly caught in a searchlight – his

  contrails were blindingly white in my windscreen. My cannon

  re slammed into his fuselage and large pieces of his aeroplane

  were torn o and swept back in the slipstream. Suddenly we

  were in darkness again. The Mosquito plunged into a dive;

  I dropped like a stone after him. As he pulled out at 5,000

  metres my controls had virtually locked up -only turning the

  stabiliser trim wheel gradually brought the aircraft out of the

  dive. I had lost him…..”

  An extremely rare photo shows the pilots of I./NJG 11 in

  September 1944 at Bonn-Hangelar. Gruppenkommandeur

  ‘Nasen’ Müller can be seen delivering a pep talk to his

  assembled pilots with his back to the camera. Third from

  the left is Feldwebel Fritz Gnike, two unidentied and F-K.

  Müller. To the right of Müller facing the camera, (small stature

  and hair combed back) is Fw. Willi Rullkötter, Lt. Lothar Sachs

  with his back to the camera, two unidentied and nally Fw.

  Walter Schermutzki and Lt. Hermann Stitz (lower part of his

  face obscured). All these pilots ew anti-Mosquito sorties with

  varying degrees of success on high performance Bf 109s almost

  up until the end of the war, although very little information

  has been published on the activities of the unit. By mid-March

  1945 for example both Gnike and Schermutzki had own some

  twenty wilde Sau sorties against Mosquitoes with little or no

  success. Anti-Mosquito sorties were in any event turned over

  the handful of Me 262 jets of II./NJG 11. On 23 March I./ NJG

  11 moved to Stuttgart Echterdingen. It was the beginning of the

  end as Schermutzki remembered;

  “ ..only the most experienced pilots were authorised to

  road convoys pressing into southern Germany. From 16 April

  of 26 April 1945, airborne in Müller‘s Bf 109 K-4 marked with

  a double chevron. As I recall he had just returned his thirtieth

  night victory in this machine. Only four of us were up on this

  last night, attacking enemy road trac around the Danube. We

  landed at Holzkirchen on 27 April where we were taken captive

  by the Americans – the four of us - Lt. Hermann Stitz, Fw. Fritz

  Gnike, Uz. Eugen Künstler and myself – were the last wilde

  Sau pilots of the Luftwae..”

  Caption for ‘Red 2’

  Bf 109 G-6/AS “Red 2” (WNr. unknown) own by Friedrich-Karl

  Müller with 1./NJGr 10 during July and August 1944. As a Moskito

  hunter the lower surfaces are in black while the Kennzier ‘2’

  is conrmed as red from Müller’s log book. The aircraft features

  a red fuselage band (just visible in one image), pointing to this as

  being an ex-JG 300 aircraft, probably built by Mtt. Regensburg

  judging by the camouage and stencil below the canopy. Note

  the absence of head armour to save some additional weight,

  a feature of Bf 109s selected for the specialised role of hunting

  RAF Mosquitoes. While not visible in any of the photos of ‘Red

  2’, all of Müller’s aircraft can be assumed to have sported

  a rudder scoreboard, from his Fw 190 ‘Green 3’ to his nal K-4..

  HISTORY

  The National Air and Space Museum owns the only surviving

  example of the German He 219 night ghter. The aircraft is an He

  219A-2/R4, W.Nr. 290202.

  The war trophy went through an extended restoration, lasting

  several years. The aircraft’s restored components, fuselage,

  engines and tail surfaces, were seen at the Udvar-Hazy Centre in

  Maryland, near the Washington – Dulles International Airport. The

  week of the 12th to 16th of August, 2019, saw the nal assembly

  of the airplane.

  This was done in the main display area of the museum, and

  required a list of accommodations that needed to be implemented.

  Their Fw 190F-8 had to be temporarily relocated, and a section

  of the museum’s WWII collection was less accessible to visitors.

  Work was done, mainly for safety reasons, outside normal business

  hours and typically began around 5:30 in the afternoon.

  Monday saw the completion of the fuselage and the wing,

  Tuesday was used to install the landing gear, the engines and their

  gondolas were attached on Wednesday, and the tail surfaces were

  planned for Thursday.

  Thanks to the kindness of the museum sta, we had the

  opportunity to witness the installation of both engines into their

  gondolas and then the wings. For Second World War groundcrew,

  this relatively routine operation required over ve hours, with

  a short break. Heavy equipment was used (a crane, lifting

  equipment), as was the usual list of smaller items (hammers, Allen

  keys, screwdrivers).

  Five hours or being around the Uhu and discussing the matter

  with the personnel involved in its restoration resulted in some

  interesting modelling information:

  The aircraft, although it carries the W.Nr. 290202, is apparently

  a combination of three aircraft. After storing three recently tested

  He 219s after the war, some of the assemblies were scrapped with

  no regard as to which specic aircraft they actually came from.

  The aircraft carries two versions of RLM 02 visible to the eye.

  The entire cockpit was not sprayed RLM 66 Black, but was

  restricted to the instrument panel and side consoles. The rest of

  the cockpit remained in natural metal, or, more accurately, in the

  material from which they were made. RLM 66 was also used on

  some components in the radar compartment in the nose.

  The fuselage preserved some areas of the original camouage

  scheme. It is interesting to note how much the shade of RLM 76

  changed, after its application in the snake pattern over the RLM

  75 on the upper surfaces.

  It was evident that the camouage scheme, especially on the

  fuselage, was applied prior to attaching the wings and tail surfaces.

  We would like to extend out sincere gratitude to especially

  Brian Nicklas and Ed Mautner, as well as Pat Robinson, for the

  opportunity to witness this event.
