Messerschmitt Bf109 Underground Factory In Budapest

Me109 circa 1945, found at:http://www.luftwaffephotos.com/lme10993.htm


Found this interesting article about how whilst Hungary was subject to Allied bombing in the Second World War, fuselages and engines for Me109's were manufactured underground in a secret factory.

The tunnels were estimated at being 35km long, providing 180 square kilometres of space, lucky for us most aircraft factories were above ground eh?
