Re: Bf 110 M8+ZE (JG 5) photo of wreck on net

Andreas

6./JG5 is correct. (Existed for 6 weeks). W.Nr4501 was also part of this unit.

It was not restored - remains in pieces in Berlin. Parts were used to rebuild Bf109 F-2 W.Nr5052 LN+NR.

Bf110 W.Nr4502 M8+ZE were the previous codes of Stab ZG76

Fuselage built on C model, W.Nr3084.

Of course Schaske flew M8+YE

Air combat with MiG's. One other Bf110 was damaged 90% from memory and crash landed at airfield.

Bullet hit the armoured windscreen.

Had 4 victories on the fin - 1 RAF and 3 Russia.

All this from memory - wrote about her in 1992.

regards

Mark
