The Bf-109 Project - High Altitude 109s

Part 3 in the posts on the Messerschmitt Bf-109 series, High ALtitude 109s.
During the life of the 019 various atemps were made to turn it into a high altitude fighter.
Starting with the Bf-109H with longer wings, through the second version of the Me-209 and the very long winged P-1091 designs.
Development was handed over to Blohm & Voss and the High Altitude 109 turned into the BV-155.
During the course of all the development, various designations were used, mainly with the goal of keeping the development going after the RLM had closed down a development permission.

Love all the long winged versions 😍
Long is good..longer is better

Another great set of builds 

You do wonder if some of the longer winged ones would have needed outriggers in order to taxi whilst on the ground ?

The  Bv155 had intercom sockets in the wing tips so the ground crew could talk the pilot round bends in the taxiways.
