I think I have posted before that the Ju87 B air intake I had a few years ago was marked 87… No R8. It also had the sub contractors inspector stamp.

The casting on the elevator section I got at Brenzett was R8-87 as Andy has confirmed.

Both are possible.

P.S. The fuse box on eBay from the Tewkesbury man is from an Me410 Hornet.

He has had the bearing on for many months and has only added the control rods to it recently.

I was comfortable with the rods – markings, colour and small plates.

He sold this weekend a B-24 impeller and has a nice but expensive piece of 109 tail fuselage.

Thank you Mike- I understand from Bob that they were only used by the Forward Air Controllers of the IXth Air Force at least in the advance from Normandy to Berlin – so very interesting and not surprisingly rare.

I have a hydraulic hose coupling from a Lancaster and on the nut face – there is an R3 stamp confirming its pedigree. You may want to check the nuts on that one. It also has AGS 970h and 907H as well as tested stamps

I heard that they made seats – perhaps not as famous as Warren Mcarthur.

The info that I have that they made wings – comes from

Qld Spitty – I was concerned that this panel and hence the were holes just below the fuel tank. The paint is bubbled in places but no obvious signs of fire – just possible age or leaking.

I have had a 109 outer wing panel with definite Russian bullet holes in it – but there was no fuel out there.

P.S. I guess that after 60% damage the final aircraft was more of a hybrid airframe or a massive in theatre rebuild.

Mike – I see that the Russians were using 7.6 mm bullets mainly – so not one of theirs.

Possibly a post war .22? They are definitely bullet holes as the metal is puckered inwards with some signs of heat.

I also found a picture of a 2 Aukfl33 Me 110 E-3 in Russia – with their Puss in Boots with camera emblem.

Ian – the full report is also available on Deutschluftwaffe.de – what I found interesting was that it was before the US joined the war – we shipped an entire 110 across to California for analysis.

Does anyone have the Luftwaffe loss reports for the two later dates ??
