Re: Photos 8-12
Stig,
I thought that might come up. I've been in discussion with another member of this forum, and the general conclusion seems to be that the marking was a transitional one when III./ZG 26 moved from Bf 109s with the usual fighter markings (number+Gruppe sign) to Bf 110s with the unit four character code. So, we think a 109-type of marking has been applied prior to this Bf 110 receiving the 3U+?? code. That appears to be the only logical explanation... but it may be wrong. If I'd had that photo years ago I could have asked Ernst Matthes...
By the way, it is a 'C-1', not a 'B'.
