Re: Hans-Joachim Jabs

Hello friend!
Yes, they are the same machine! Check the little booklet BF 110 in Action from Schiffer. You will find a lot of photos from Jabs and his machine. In the battle of France, Britain he flew the M8+IP and later on over Crete and Greece - there are some beautiful air to air photographs on the booklet.
It seems that it was a washable paint. Some of 4./ZG 76 machines got this white gun-nose too while they operated with the Irakians ( I am talking of Lt Martin Drewes whom I met here in Brazil ).
Both photos are correct and it seems that the first one ( with white nose ) was taken just after he came from Crete.
Cheers from Brazil
Adriano
