This plane is already partly on exhibit in Berlin:

One question:
Does anyone know details on the last flight?

The link says it was a "Schlachtfliegereinsatz", so I wonder wether that was a daylight mission (which would be a kind of doubled misuse for a nightfighter...)?

There's a new thread on LEMB about this. It includes three of my holiday photos.
