Bf 110E(?) 3U=MS

[stefaan]

Hi Guys.
I need to confirm the type of 110 with code 3U=MS.
Visited in desert by many South Africans.
Looks like an E model, and the Wrk Nr looks like 4686 on fin.(I don't have 110 serial breakdowns)
Am I right in that it was an E version?
Does somebody know where it was found in the desert and a loss report on it??
Thx a mil

WNr.4556 had made a belly-landing 5.July 1942 at "Bir Amus Meid".

BTW, WNr.4686 was a 110F-4 that was serving with the 7./NJG 5 a year later, damaged in a crash-landing during the night of 31.Aug./1.September 1943.

Hi Guys.
It can only be 4556 as the codes are definitely 3U MS. The dates also correspond to when the SAAF sqdn members who moved past that area were in N Africa.
Please send

Thx
