Bf-110G NJG6.6 (2Z+0P) WNr5547 Dübendorf Switzerland Mar 15 1944 01

Photo’s 01-02: This Bf-110G-4 of 6./NJG6 landed at Dübendorf in Switzerland shortly before midnight on 15 March 1944.The aircraft was fitted with auxiliary fuel tanks and had 76 undersurfaces with most of the starboard wing, including the drop tank, painted black. Note, however, that an area immediately aft of the spinner was not painted black and that the black under the wing terminated in an irregular line just short of the leading edge. The uppersurface coloring is most interesting, for while the nose area approximately forward of the windscreen retained the original factory 74/75/76 finish, the rest of the aircraft's uppersurfaces had been repainted in a low demarcation splinter scheme of 74 and 75. Note that the tactical code 2Z+0P was repeated on the nose and the Werknummer 5547 was applied to the tail.
