ME 110, D5+B?

[Richard Auld]

Will do, I suppose it is a general model then used on various aircraft.

After some searching this Siemens connector is tied to this Nachlaufschalter.

This is basically a position encoder, but i don't know yet where it was used.

@Funksammler, was it used in Patin compass system?

I will give it a spin tomorrow Val, off to bed best regards

Had a wander round today, I kicked this stuff up!

[Richard Auld]

Well, I had a stroll around again today, not rushing round as usual but took my break out there and what a day I have had! I now have a Werk Nr from this plane. All of the vegitataion had died down now, we have had a lot of heavy rain as well and stuff is just lying there. I found a heavily rusted armoured plate that has been exposed to the elements  for 70 years but there was a surprise on the reverse!. I was also shocked to find some leather items too. The ear piece from a flying helmet was just there on the ground, I thought it was a dead mushroom! Anyway a picture paints a thousand words!

Just to be clear the picture is not the best but the Werk Nr, is 6269. The first of a batch of 15 aircraft from June 43. Lost Jan 44!

[Richard Auld]

Sadly still can't confirm the three crewmen that were recovered at the time! It is really anoying as the Germans are normally ruthless with records!

[Richard Auld]

Had a woder round again today as I am at work for a couple of days (reduced hours). a few more bits!

[Richard Auld]

The knob thing with the squashed red metal disc is the item hilighted under the star. I understand it to be the emergency disengagement of the auto pilot/navigation thing?

Thanks for the links Val!

[Richard Auld]

Couple more bits the other day, we nearly parked on the big bit!

[Richard Auld]

A nice bit today but I can't find it in the cockpit set up?

Luckily the plates were face down and the brunt of the weathering is on the reverse.

A few more bits to follow later,

Some more bits I would guess are from the cockpit area as the glass I kicked up with my foot and it appears to be within a tight area?

This looks to be some of the laminated 60mm panzer glass from the very front of the conopy.

Few more bits

Guys,

the most interesting and personal item I have found there is this fragment of a hair comb. It is making it even more frustrating not being able to find the crew. I have one avenue left that is the local pastor that holds the grave records for Bergen. I have seen extracts from them that relate to allied airmen recovered from Bergen and buried in Becklingen Commonwealth Graves site. I hope to crack this, this year!

More bits!

Mustard tube? 

MG81 bolt.

A pen knife!

Guys, been poking around again and I don't beleive how luck I have been with this.

It basically confirms it is a 110 but the Werk Nr is different but still from Braunschweig?

It is a small plate but it seems to have carried the required data?
