Me110 & Me163 downed 14 April 1945
On 14 April 1945, 41 Squadron's Sqn. Ldr. John Shepherd sighted an Me110 towing and Me163 Komet taking off from Nordholz Aerodrome. He shot up the Me110, which went down in flames. The Me163 released itself from the tow-line but as they were taking off at the time likely had not sufficient power to rescue itself. It, too, went down a few fields away.
I believe the Me110 was from 7/NJG3 and the Me163 from I/JG400, whose pilot was Obfw. Werner Nelte, who survived. Can anyone confirm these details, please, and share the identities and fates of the crew of the Me110? Thanks Steve
