Information about Bf 110E 4502

[Merlin]

the history of Bf 110C-2 WNr. 3084:
test flown at Augsburg 21.12.39
two times mentioned in Flugbuchs of crews from 2./ZG 52 01.40 and 03.40
overhaul or repair at Augsburg 04.42
lost by ZS 2 as detailed in post #2

The statement from post #13 "a whole group in the 30xx, 31xx Bf 110s were not completed and most likely upgraded and completed in a new batch of E models."
is fully wrong. There are flying histories and loss reports for nearly all of these numbers.

The number "3084" found on the wreck of WNr. 4502 is most likely part of the construction number or a component serial number.

Merry Christmas to everybody

Hi AFROBINSON

All I can add is that this was 1992. I agree my statement indicating other aircraft were upgraded was wrong. It was the information I had at the time speaking to other researchers and referring to books etc.

As the the 3084. This was clearly painted on the port wing root area of the recovered airframe. Whether it was a component or not I do not know but to me at the time showed a previous W.Nr. At the time I found no loss for 3084.

1992 everything was done with physical research- travelling to the IWM and elsewhere and lots of letters and phone calls. Nowadays you can write a post and get all the information in 24 hours when originally it took 2 months.
