After the streamlined cars, the alt-power GM cars, the photos from the GM Proving Ground and several others that we’ve yet to show, we’re not quite sure what to expect from David Greenlees, save for the fact that it’s all good stuff. Most recently, he sent us these couple of photos of a model posing in a Messerschmitt Kabinenroller on some sort of airfield. Unlike the previous photos, these come without any captions or other sort of explanation, so we’re left in the dark about the context or the name of the lass in the striped shirt.
The background vehicles might shed some light on at least the setting for the photos. To the left of the aircraft (would any aviation-minded readers like to take a stab at identifying it?), we see what appears to be a Magirus Deutz, while in the background of the other photo, we see some vehicles of European origin and a couple possible American cars. The setting is most likely an Air Force base in Germany – Ramstein, perhaps. The Messerschmitt itself appears to be a KR175, so, assuming it’s new, the photo dates from 1953 to 1955.
