Re: Wing coding Bf110 and in general
I am trying to convince those who say this plane had the code M8+TC on the fuselage instead of what I believe should read M8+KC. To my knowledge, the only "proof" for the code M8+TC comes from the Vermisst list and is probably as wrong as the crash site in the same list. According to the Vermisst list the plane crashed near Kirkenes. The plane war on its way to Kirkenes, but never arrived there, and in fact crashed 2000 km farther south.
The plane is imaged in Pori on 08.08.1941 with a K under the left wing near to the tip. The Finns filled up the plane with 87 octane fuel and oil, which is shown in the fuel log from Pori and the plane is there logged as M8+KC.
By the way, the plane's Werk No was 3863.
On differenet pictures from Pori and also from Sweden in summer 1941, all the fuselage letters except letter no 3 can be read.
So from the arguments above, which fuselage code is the most probable?
