Hi All

I believe we can drop the Me 210 theory. I doubt very much anyone making a modofication like this also would ensure a retrograde engine installation.

Neither do I believe it is a Bf 162. The engines are not quite the same and the same goes here, why change the engines.

Far more likely is an early 110. In this context may I remind everyone that the Bf 110V-9 was likewise modified late in its career with a strange nose configuration. The theory about a PR mod to ensure good air-to-air shots sounds quite plausible to me.

Cheers
Stig
