No, the tailsection is too thin, also the shape of the empennage doesn't fit.

Looks like a FW200 to me, but - they were rare... that makes it unlikely.

Maybe a Ju88-G?

I say Ju-88 Nightfighter

Here is a very different, very detailed documentary. The Battle Of Britain: The Real Story. Even a diary from a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. You'll see the 6 prts. on the side.

You're welcome swiss. The only other Air War documentary where I've hear'ed the enemy point of view so clear was in the Canadian documentary "Warriors Of The Night". A four hour long series about night bomber crews over Germany and the Germany night fighter pilots, all with extensive interviews.

swiss are you the one that was in Mcminville and had your picture in the Warclouds website in front of that 109 G10? If so that is one beautiful G 10 and a real one too not a Bouchon conversion. I was there in 2004.

Nope, wasn't me.

There is a VFS22 swiss I often hear about, but this guy is, or at least lives, in the US.
