ZG76 in Jersey?
According to one book I've read, during the Battle of Britain Messerschmitt Bf 110Cs of ZG76 were operating out of the airport in Jersey, Channel Islands. However, I can't find any other definite confirmation, either in books about the Occupation of the Channel Islands or unit histories of ZG76.
The only other evidence I have is a single undated photograph of a lone Bf 110, supposedly at Jersey Airport. The camouflage scheme is light with dark mottling. The first letter of markings is partially obscured by the tail, but is probably an O or D. Otherwise it reads E [national cross] UG.
Could anyone confirm that part of ZG76 was based in Jersey? If so, has anyone got more specific details about which part of ZG76, the probable paint schemes and markings etc? Or if it wasn't, who the Bf 110 was likely to belong to? Any information would be gratefully received.
