Re: Nice photo find - German planes captured by British Paratroopers
A very interesting picture. The elongated front opening is possibly to accomodate the movement of the MK108 barrel during installation and removal of the gun. It seems that the gun fitted in front of the mainspar and would need to tip acutely down at the rear to fit or remove. Also, close inspection of the picture shows that the fairing under the wing has a "flat-bottomed" profile that would be required to fit the profile of the MK108.
Just my thoughts.
