Thanks Pawel :) Any info or image about Rudoph Hess airplane?

Re: Messerschmitt Bf110D
 

the image is as posted by rfl51, the info is -

-- On 16 July 1940 GLM Ernst Udet became the user of Bf 110 D-0 (3354) VF+HP, this a/c replaced his ageing Bf 110 C-1 (945) GK+AY and was stationed at Tempelhof. The a/c had been used at Tarnewitz for armament trials. --

Hess flew Messerschmitt Bf110 E-1/N Werk Nummer 3869, coded VJ+OQ on his little visit to Scotland.

You can find more details in Roy Conyers Nesbit and Georges Van Acker's excellent book "The Flight Of Rudolf Hess: Myths and Reality."

Part of the fuselage of this aircraft is on display at the Imperial War Museum in London. Or was the last time I was there.

Thanks :) I know for the register of the Hess plane but I did not spot in first moment that it is other version... Thanks for correction :)

A pleasure to help. There are pictures of the Hess Bf110 in the book I mentioned, unfortunately after the crash though. There is also a picture of a Bf110 at the Mtt Works at Augsburg with 900 litre drop tanks and the code VJ+?? which may or may not be the Hess plane as the authors point out. Sadly the rest of the code is obscured.

I like your websites by the way. :D

Re: Messerschmitt Bf110D
 

No problem Pawel- I greatly appreciate your kind effort :)

Maximowitz- this is at least good trace, so Hess maybe did have D model of Bf110 but he crashed in E model in UK. I think I have seen long time ago image of crashed sample.

Thanks for comment about web site, I run it slowly with my friends :)

Some text from: Messerschmitt Bf 110 at War - Armand Van Ishoven.

"On 16 July 1940 Generalluftzeugmeister Ernst Udet became the user of Bf 110D-0, VF+HP, W.Nr 3354; this aircraft replaced his ageing Bf 110C-1, GK+AY, W.Nr 945 and was stationed at Tempelhof airfield. The aircraft had been used at Tarnewitz for arament trials."

"Udet´s faithful campanion on all his flights was his mechanic, Gefreiter Kurt Schnittke. Udet saw to it that a rear-view mirror was installed INSIDE the cockpit. Very few knew its funcktion. During a flight Udet now and then liked to take a sip og Cognac from the small flask he carried and he thought it only right that his flying mechanic did the same. However, when the mechanic took a sip it made a noise in the microphone which could be worrying - but when he saw Schnittke in the mirror taking a sip, Udet could be happy that nothing was amiss."
