Messerschmitt Bf 110G-2 of NJG3 ground crew
runs up starboard engine, for a night mission

The rectangular inlet on top of the nose,
feeds air into the weapons bay.
This aircraft, is not carring any airborne
radar.
Aircraft is also equipped with flame dampers
over engine exhaust.

flame dampers installed over the engine

UNFRIENDLY SKIES:

Messerschmitt Bf 110G of NJG 3 ready for another night intercept mission against RAF Bombers.

HUNTER AND THE HUNTED:

Night fighters on both sides were active at night and both sides faced the same changing weather conditions over Europe, at times playing cat & mouse searching for RAF bombers over the Reich, the Bf 110's and watching for the marauding RAF Mosquito and Beaufighter roaming the night sky searching for them...

FILE PHOTOGRAPH:

Bf 110 lacks the Lichtenstein FuG 220b aerial array, but the aircraft still carries a punch w/2 x 30mm BK 108 cannons w/135 rpg and 2 x 20mm MG 151 w/300rds. port guns, 350rds. starboard guns and updated 1 x MG81Z twin-mounted 7.92mm machine gun w/800rds. some sources list 2,000rds.
Aircraft is equipped with flame dampers over the engine exhaust...are you ready for the German word
here it is.

FLAMMENVERNICHTER!
