This is a nice and rare glass framed aluminium air frame structure section that still retains lots of its original colours clear to see. The airframe section has some of its original Mauve camouflage paint work remains which was only used by a couple of different German squadrons all based in the Mediterranean and North Africa so a rare colour paint sceam. The part has ripped off by the impact of the crash they are in relic but solid condition and have been nicely cleaned perfect for display it has been mounted in to a glass fronted box frame with information and lots of pictures, the frame is 10 half inches by 10 half inches in size and vry hard to get relic from the air war over Malta..

The Messerschmitt 109 was in action over Malta on the 15th May 1942 when it was shot down by RAF spitfire flown by Squadron leader Douglas-Hamilton of 603 Squadron. The pilot of the Messerschmitt was Leutnant Herbert Soukop. Herbert was wounded after the head-on attack by the spitfire. He baled out and was captured with a broken arm and taken prisoner of war.
