Bf 110C 8./Zg 26 Desert Scheme
« on: November 13, 2018, 11:51:24 AM »
Bf 110E-2 of 8./Zg 26 in 1942. This squadron spent more time based in North Africa than any other 110 destroyer unit,  based most often in Derna, Libya. This specific aricraft was factory painted in desert colors RLM 79 over RLM 78, with white tail band denoting MTO deployment and the yellow lower cowling for IFF purposes. While "Red K" is one of the most photographed 110s in Africa, the pilot's identity remains a mystery. 8th Squadron scored 35 of the 84 total aerial victories claimed by Zg 26 in 1941 and 1942.

An engine too many and a death of red paint, not to mention completely lacking any similarity to a 152.  :headscratch:

He's on a roll again. Good stuff.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
