Re: Data Plates Exposed #10: Bf 110

Thank you Jim!

By "technical equipment" do you mean a tool or a servicing item?

This plate is so much unlike any others I have seen from Messerschmitt aircraft (e.g., its size, style and labeling). Perhaps it was attached to a piece of equipment (or equipment container) associated with the Bf 110, but not part of the air vehicle itself. This may explain why the plate is missing a 'BAL' inspector's mark (hexagon). That mark was stamped into the vast majority of plates on airframe structures.

Best regards,
Steve
