Me 410 A-3 PS+TW

[Roger Gaemperle]

Hello

I have photos of a Me 410 that has a "W" underneath its left wing (at wing tip) [the photo will be published this year in a book therefore I can't show it here].

Comparing with other Me 410 this should be the last letter of the StKz. The StKz on the fuselage was overpainted but the first 2 are still readable and they are "PS".

There are several Me 410 A-3 in Petrick's/Stocker's book with StKz PS+T. : from WNr 170109 PS+TA to 170122 PS+TN. Then there is a gap from 170122 to 170133. I assumed that the StKz continued with 170123 PS+TO etc. and concluded that PS+TW was 170131.

However, PS+TW was apparently assigned to a Bf 109 G-6.

Maybe the letter "W" was not a StKz letter but the aircraft letter W of 8H+WH?

Does anybody have a PS+TW as Me 410 A-3 in his records?

Thanks,
Roger
