110306 as "Ole' Fruit Cake". Note that the long barrels of the MG 151/20 cannon were added after it was captured by the British.
Are you saying the aircraft had 20mm cannons with the barrels removed when captured and the British just re-installed the barrels or that the 30mm cannons were removed and 20mm cannons installed?

"... A more practical proposal was to reduce the forward-firing MK 108s to two (with 160 rounds) and mount an upward firing MK 108 on either side of the radar operator in a Schräge Musik installation."

I will amend my initial posting again.

BR, Juha

I'll ask again from Post #11, "Are there any photos showing an Me 262 with Schräge Musik", either MK 108 or MG151/20?
