I seem to have this recorded as a Bf110G-4/R8.
Am I mistaken?

Probably You are. R8 modifications were equipped with angle-fired "Schrage-Musik" cannons mounted in the rear canopy. There are no these cannons on any available photos of 160616.

Thanks for the reply and explanation.

Hello Lucas,

Do you have more reports of German aircraft found by American forces? I do have many Technical Intelligence Reports on Crashed Enemy Aircraft but these are British reports, whereas I am also interested in what was found where in the southern half of Germany.

Many thanks and a Happy New Year !
