Another wreck of Bf110

[John Vasco]

OK, I think Tomislav has established beyond reasonable doubt that 3U+JH came down a considerable distance from where the remains of the Bf 110 which is the subject of this thread were found. Not the same aircraft.

Regarding the numerals '1' and '7', here's one example of what I am talking about. Handwritten correspondence from Balthasar Aretz, pilot of 2./Erpr. Gr. 210; III./ZG 26, and other units. Note how he writes the number '7'. This is just one of many examples I have in my research records.

Hi, guys.

In my opinion the WNr written on the armour plate is 3722 and not 3122.

As these remains were found near a railway station, I would rather speculate that these remains are dumped parts that were recovered but later decided not to be returned by rail when the rest of the wreckage from one or more aircraft wrecks were returned to the repair system.

Regards,

Yet the supposed '1' on the plate in no way resembles the numeral one written in the example either. What do the records tell us about W.Nr. 3122? That may resolve it nicely. Poor eyes and all, I still go with 3722 ;-)
