Re: ID of a lost ME410?
Is it possible this was a Me210? I have the combat report made by the RAF pilot, one Sqn Ldr Parker-Rees, OC of 'B' Flight, 96Sqn operating Mosquito MkXIII's, who states that the identification was made by the position of the exhaust flames. Also, I have the log book of the radar operator, who states they were in contact for a long period- the "longest chase ever experienced". Seems strange that these experienced crew, in contact for a long period, could make such a mistake- What else looks like a 410/210? It was common practice to measure the wing span of the E/A via the gunsight ring, so rough size of the aircraft would be known. Any ideas anyone??
p.s. thanks for the info so far
