Orange plexiglass

[Harrie]

Hi all,

Recently a ressident of my village approached me with a bracelet within orange plexiglass wich was used of a Me-110 [ZG 76] .
I,ve written there where uses of orange plexiglass in german bombers/nachtjager cockpit to avoid blindness by searchlight is this correct ?
And where there also orange plexiglass lamps on the wings ?
It would be nice to determine the orange plexigass for local history.

Thank you ,Regards Harrie

Orange tinted plexiglass was used on the light located on the port wing leading edge.

Hello!

Might have been instrument training arrangement, too. Pilot wearing blue goggles would not see throught the orange cockpit panels but would see the Instruments.

I think this was widely used in yesterdays. Swedish air force Mosquitos for example had such organge panels on canopy.

Cheers,
Kari
