Title: Bf 110C over Kent
Post by: Devil 505 on February 19, 2025, 06:32:16 PM

Bf 110C flown by Hermann Brinkmann of 3./ZG 26 on September 20, 1940. Brinkmann ditched this plane at Cobham Farm in Lenham, Kent after receiving damage. He and his gunner were taken prisoner.

This aircraft was painted in the 1939 camouflage pattern of RLM 70 and 71 greens over 65 light blue. The 1939 style of narrow crosses were also present. A white nose was added in September 1940 as an IFF measure.

It shows the tail damage of Hermann's ditched 110.

Another side view of a 110 in the same squad of Hermann's ditched around the same time.
