Hello,

here is a good photo of the downed Bf110 8H+IK from 2.(F)/33:

It is described as the Kalinin Front 1942.

Is it known which of the aircraft of this Staffel shot down in 1942 had this code, and when it was shot down?

Best regards,
Andrey

I don't know if it was shot down or not, but it looks like an un-airworthy aircraft that was dismantled and left behind by the Germans.

Hello,

It was probably a more or less successful forced landing, but not on the side of the frontline the crew would have preferred. It is not clear where the Germans could have left it in the summer of 1942 on the Moscow direction. The Kalinin front was west/northwest of Moscow. Yes, the plane was partially dismantled, but it's unclear by whom.

Perhaps Matti can tell exactly which plane this code belonged to.

Best regard,
Andrey
