Hello Chaps, I hope you can help me to find this.
Do you have Bf109 markings?
.
It was the marking
“White 4”
of 4./JG51 (4th group, fighter squadron 51)
W.Nr. 5377,
Lt. Johann Böhm.

Here is a picture of the screen-visor.
http://www.sturmovik.de/wiki/index.php?title=Lotfe
And they mention that it was the LOTFE 7H used in Me 262 A-2a/U2 with a bomb aimer lying in the the fuselage.
Here is the following:
‘A single “Me-262-2a/U1” Sturmvogel derivative was built with an experimental bombsight system, and one or two “Me-262A-2a/U2s” Sturmvogel derivatives were built with glass noses and a Lotfe 7H bombsight for a prone bombardier to permit horizontal bombing. Neither of these experiments proved successful.’

Snippet from a monthly Aviation mag that will remain nameless… Teasers;)
Two things, does anyone have any further information to this story and what was the glass-nosed 262 used for…
This is a roughly translation from the text in contrailjjs third picture:
‘Me 262 A-2a/U2
Two-seated bomber version glass-nosed and bomb-aiming device LOTFE 7D.
The bomb aimer was lying accommodated.
Two prototypes were built (V555 and V484)’

All were flown in Scotland. He was an extremly experienced pilot. If any one would like to see the full copy of the CAA report please feel free to mail me. I will send it by post. Only on the condition that it is returned to me, as it is the only thing I have.
Cheers Mike’
