Thanks to Lyric1 for finding info for this skin. BTW the only photos I have of this aircraft show the port side. Some sources show kills markings on both port and starboard rudders and others suggest only port. Anyone have a suggestion as to which arrangement is more likely?
On the night of 28th April this 5./NJG 6 Bf-110G flown by Oberleutnant Wilhelm Johnen pursued a Lancaster bomber into Swiss airspace and shot it down, but not before return fire from the bomber had knocked out the port engine. Johnen managed to land his damaged aircraft at a Swiss airbase where it was impounded and the crew interned. Soon after though the crew was repatriated to Germany following diplomatic negotiations. Johnen was awarded the Knight's Cross in October 1944 after his 33rd kill and survived the war with 34 night time kills.
