Oleg - this aircraft was found some time ago.

I have this one listed as a D-3 model (most likely from the Mankau/Petrick book). Since I feel it was a bit unlikely D models were rebuilt into E ones, can you possibly give me a clue how to interpret all this?

Since I assume you have the WNr details that both Mankau/Petrick used, are these numbers open for questioning?

Cheers
Stig

Hello Stig,

Mankau/Petrick say Werk-Nr. 4213-4380 = 168 Bf 110 D-3 built by Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH in Bremen.

In the Gen.Qu. loss report from 19 October 1942 is listed Bf 110 F (S9+TN) 4359. In the supplement (Ergänzung) from 29 October 1942 h) is noted:
Ändere Werk-Nr. 4359 in 4356 (Bf 110 F).

Thanks Leo

Now you have made me even more confused...
Three different 110 versions?

What was it in real life??

Cheers

John:
I could add, that as well as I know, ETC50 bombracks were found on the crashplace, and in Your book there are some photoes of S9+TN in flight, wich are showing a Bf110E aircraft. So I suggest it was built as a E variant.

John,

Given your interest in the Bf 110, you might be interested in the following Russian language links concerning the discovery of the aircraft which forms the subject of this thread. This occurred relatively recently, as Evgeny mentioned:

and

I can translate some of this content, should you want me to.
