Loss info for Bf 110

Hi,

I am seeking loss information and location for a Bf 110 in the Western Desert with the fuselage code '2F + LA'.

Many thanks,
Doug

Hello,

Can't help with a location or date, but you will find a photograph of a St. St St.G 3 Bf 110 in Stefaan Bouwer's, Luftwaffe Crash Archive 'Desert Special' Vol.1 (p.86).

The details read: StabstaffelStG3 - The code 2F was unusual and used only on Bf 110s of the Stabsstaffel/STG3 at this time of the war.

The photo depicts a badly damaged Bf 110 on its belly. The coding, (2F+L-, which appears to be coloured, and has a black outline), is all that is visible on the badly twisted rear of the aircraft. There is a person standing in the mid-section of the cockpit.

Many thanks Snautzer and Col.

Col, I think that the aircraft you described is the one.
