Re: Bf 110 J8+BL crash
Hello, the aircraft crash has been located in southern Corfu island, 3 weeks ago. Debris have been found. Among them a dataplate of some part (not the aircraft itself), a 7,92mm bullet from the front guns (4xM17?) which was fired and we have way to go as there are plenty of pieces around. Eyewitness of the area refered to friendly AA coming from the southern corner of the island, which agrees with the statement written above in this thread. Did they think it was any kind of Beaufighter or something coming from the east? Maybe... The gunner had an excelent aim anyway. Anyone who may help with the exact subtype of the aircraft? I found somewhere (and I cannot remember where) that the Rüstsätze of this one was R6, which is a combination of R3/U9. Of course the 108mm MK Kanone was never placed on this birds, maybe only the nitro booster aand the MG 81Z rear machinegun. Can some help on this?
Additionally, do we know anything about the camo colours of this unit (3.NAGr2) flying from Greece in 1943/1944? I have tried to located any kind of relative photo but without result. Any help is welcome.
Thank you in advance,
Themis
