Description

Platinum Fighter Sales is extremely proud to offer For Sale, Messerschmitt BF-109E s/n 6*88, the only privately owned Bf109E that saw service with the Legion Condor during the Spanish Civil War that survives today. The only other known survivor is 6*106, currently under the care of the Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany.

Built during 1938, 6*88 saw service with Legion Condor in Spain in 1939, then continued flying with the Spanish Air Force until 1950 when it was officially retired, In 1950 it was handed over to Franco and local pilots flew it as late as 1958, it is likely that 6*88 is the longest serving Bf109E of all 3,477 Emils built. A true Survivor with Continuing History!

The current Owner/Custodian purchased the derelict Emil in Spain during 1981, thus making him 6*88's custodian for approximately half of the Emil's lifespan of 85 years! Unfortunately, 6*88's current custodian, a British Warbird connoisseur, has not been able to renew his Aviation Medical Certificate and is now reluctantly offering 6*88 For Sale after 42 years of ownership.

This alignment of the planets may well present a 'Once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for an astute buyer/investor to purchase such a unique artifact with extraordinary and unparalleled aviation history. Not only could it become the oldest flying Messerschmitt, 6*88 is a highly desirable and rare Emil!

Qualified Buyers: Please contact the Platinum Fighter Sales Team and request a detailed information package.
