Re: the Ju 88s in winter
 
Those Ju 88s must be in Finland, I believe that's a Finnish Dornier Do 17Z between them.

GRM

Hi

Assuming that is a Bf110G-2 LN+?R of 13(Z)/JG% in late 1943?

The two Ju88's look like they colud be at Malmi or Pori (Finland) being prepared for delivery North.

All

None of the Ju 88 depicted was for Finland.
The Do 17Z in the middle is DN-52

Cheers

Bf110 G-2

Not an F according to engine cowlings and bordfunk/gunners position.

If you are using LN+NR Bf110F-2 at the Berlin Technische Museum as an example 0 the engine cowlings they have are also wrong! When recovered, they were missing, but had some G models from somewhere.

Triangular window (not three small circular windows) on port engine cowling? G-2.

And I know you will reply with DF loop...

Do we have another hybrid here...?

"Not an F according to engine cowlings and bordfunk/gunners position."

Engine cowling for F and G have the same shape, differences are in air scoop and instruments windows. Unfortunately we can't see if it is a triangular window OR if the three rounded ones area was crudely left unpainted.

To my knowledge, no G-2 flew with the B/C/D/E/F canopy model displayed in the photo. The bordfunker position is the same, what changes is the rear portion of the canopy for G-2 and G-4 series.

The D/F loop antenna, as you know John, leads to F series.

Even if I agree with the engine nacelle instrument windows, it is still 2x1 for the F team, and we would still be in a conundrum created by an hybrid airplane.

Unfortunately, since we both aren't on ebay auctions anymore, the possibility of a better analysis of the original or its high res. copy is out of question...?
