The second 109 photo is very well known and shows Gerhard Granz of ZG 2 in the cockpit.

The photos titled "Flugzeug BF110 Nachtjäger Negativ a. Werksfertigung" were taken at the Gothaer Waggonfabrik (see the article, "In den Gotha-Werken wurden nicht nur Lastensegler gebaut" in the last issue of Jet & Prop). NL+SM was a BF 110 F (not G).

Would someone kindly explain what is going on in the first 109 picture?

Interesting that the national markings are over painted. Is this a refurbishing of used airframes?

Interesting pictures you find Mr. West.

This is how national insignia were spray painted on the aircraft. First the dark outline and the masked, followed by the white part.

Hope this helps,

Norbert
