Messerschmitt Bf-110G Zerstörer NJG1.8 (G9+VS) W.Nr 110509 1945 01-02

Photo’s 01-02: This abandoned Bf-110G-4 was found by US forces at Bad Langensalza in April or May 1945. This particular machine, W.Nr 110509, flown by 8./NJG1, was coded G9+VS and lacked any radar aerials when photographed. On the starboard side, just visible protruding from the underside of the nose in the photograph is the small plate which ensured that spent cartridge cases were deflected away from the propeller.
