Colourised Bf 110 on eBay - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi

On eBay here, here and here there are three interesting photos of Bf110s. The most complete stkz is KB+U_. The LEMB database shows KB+UJ as a possibility. A second Bf 110 to the rear also begins with K... The seller claims North Africa as the location. Can anyone identify sub-type, unit, history etc of these aircraft?

More probably Sicily (with Etna in the background).

First two show an early 'E' variant.
Third photo also shows an 'E', but a different aircraft to the other two photos.

Thanks for the replies. A photo of a Ju 52/3m from the same collection here has one the Bf110 in the background, but with full stkz on show. This is KB+UC.

The mountain in the background is Monte Erice and the airport is Trapani-Milo

Thanks for confirmation of the location. I have III./ZG 26 at Trapani for two spells and 10./ZG 26 once, so these Bf110Es could belong to this unit?
