Cockpit photo of a Bf 110 G-4 nightfighter

[Roger Gaemperle]

Hi SES,

Thanks for the link! Although, I am particularly interested in a wartime photo of the cockpit on which also the control stick is visible, it is quite an interesting article and a nice replica panel.


Hi David and Christian,

Many thanks for that excellent report! That is exactly what I was looking for. One photo shows the half-looted cockpit and part of the control stick. There appears to be an additional button attached to the stick (on the front of the wire connection box), which I thought was for "Kampfdurchladung" of the MG 17 (so all charged at once). But this aircraft was not equipped with MG 17. Maybe, the aircraft originally had MG 17s and the button was left in place when it was retrofitted with MK 108s. The button is not installed in the Bf 110 at Hendon, which was also equipped with MK 108 (but maybe already delivered with MK 108s and never had MG 17s).

Cheers,

Roger
