Thanks for your contributions but, indeed, these loss details for 25.11.1943 do not fit to the belly-landed Bf110, which was apparently only slightly damaged in the belly landing. Another theory about the identity of the aircraft in question G9+FM is that it may have belonged to ZG1; the aircraft is obviously painted in daylight camo (not NJ black), the 'F' is outlined in white paint, and if I'm correct, ZG1 bore the same Verbandskennzeichen (G9+) as NJG1 prior to being transferred into the infant Nachtjagd arm in June 1940. Perhaps this theory can be proved right, if someone could confirm that Barte served with ZG1 prior to becoming a Nachtjäger in II./NJG1 -on the backside of the photo it is clearly stated 'Barte Bauchlandung', or 'Barte belly-landing'.

Cheers, Theo
