Re: A few Me-110 photos

Ju 88s in the picture are at Fl.Pl. Pori between 1943-03-06 and 1943-03-15. KK+RS flew 1943-02-14 from Malmi to Pori and CH+ZH flew 1943-03-06 from Tallin to Pori. The Finnish DN-52 was at Pori 1943-02-15 - 1943-03-15. CH+ZH (Ju 88A-4, WNr. 142400) was delivered to 2./KG 30 and destroyed 1943-05-28 (Zusammenstoß in der Luft mit Ju 88A-4, Werk.-Nr. 142197. Bruch 100 %). KK+RS (Ju 88D-1, WNr. 430576) was delivered to 1.(F.)/120 and destroyed 1944-03-05 (Notlandung auf See infolge Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %). DN-52 survived the war and flew still in 1940s in the Finnish Air Force.

I strongly suspect, that Bf 110 pix is from the same guy as the other one and therefore possibly taken roughly at the same time at Fl.Pl. Pori. LN+MR was flown from Kemi to Pori 1943-01-23 and it was Bf 110F-2. In March 13.(Z.)/JG 5 got the first three Bf 110G-0 aircraft, but the aircraft in picture seems not to be fresh, factory new. Therefore I vote for F-2 version.
