Re: IV.NJG.1 - Ofw. Paul Gildner - BF-110 (G9+HM) - Febr-Mar '41

Just a thought here that may be of some help to those who have recources available. Maybe a bit of a shot in the dark here, but since NJG.1 was formed (at least in part) from units of ZG.1 in jun 1940... is it possible that Gildner might have kept is BF-110 from his ZG.1 days?

I found an event dated 10th May 1940 during with Gildner (among others) flew BF-110's together with Werner Streib to intercept a flight of Blenheim near Waalhaven airbase, The Netherlands

Is anything known about Gildners BF-110 from his ZG.1 days (werk.nr, fuselage code etc)? If so, is it possible he may have kept this plane and went on to fly it (as G9+HM) as he became part of NJG.1?
