Post by Ratch »

Messerschmitt Bf 110C–4 2177 5F+CM AX772 Originally of 4.(F)/14 intercepted by RAF fighters while on a reconnaissance mission on 21 July 1940. Forced down near Goodwood Racecourse, Sussex. The Royal Aircraft Establishment repaired this aircraft and after handling trials, was flown to the Air Fighting Development Unit at Duxford in October 1941. In March 1942 AX772 was transferred to No. 1426 Enemy Aircraft Flight at Collyweston until moving to the Enemy Aircraft Flight of the Central Flying School at Tangmere in January 1945. It was stored at No. 47 Maintenance Unit (MU) Sealand in November 1945. Scrapped in 1947.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That's a nicely done canopy. Looks good in that scheme.

An awesome build and finish. Now I want one in RAF colours to go with my captured 109 and 190.

All the best.

I really do like to see familiar aircraft in unfamiliar markings. That is a most interesting scheme and well finished too. Thanks too for the historical background - I knew some of it but not the whole story.
