Fully agree. The long pitot tube and the extended rudder tabs were introduced first in 1941 with 110E type IMHO. Unfortunately I don't have official construction drawings to prove it.

No need to insult each other about that. We're just trying to advert to small facts.

After looking at stars in the daytime at 6Km alt for the past 8 years, I will be joyfull when the worst mistakes are size of pitot tube and rudder tab.

Great pics Oleg. The detail on the buildings is excellent and the real shadows inside the hanger really bring things to life.
This is the first time I've seen buildings that actually appear part of the environment.

Nice looking grass too. I think airbases generally kept the grass pretty short on most of the field though.

I'll probably regret wading into this, but in 'Wings of the Luftwaffe' by Captain Eric Brown there are two pictures of a BF110C-4 (Werk-Nr 2177) which was forced down at Goodwood on 21 July 1940, and you can see there is no extended pitot.

In another picture, a C-4 captured in 1944 does show one. Presumably this was a modification, assuming that the extended pitot, having been added to later series, performed better.

Zorin is merely being 'frank', and as English is not his first language, we should cut him some slack. There are plenty of posters here for whom English is their first language but who still engage in very rude exchanges.

I do not criticize you .............. but I often ask a question?
Who decided that the English 'world language?
maybe everything was decided after the second world war?
This is the list of most languages' spoken in the world.

but now with so much technology mankind has not a single language or a machine to translate the 6,500 types of language.

not to invent a new language only world?


ACTUALLY IS CHINESE AND ESPANIOL the FIRST LENGUAGGE IN THE WORLD ENGLISH IS 3 LENGUAGGE IN THE WORLD

[Novotny]

Not suggesting English is the world language at all: my point is that it's not Zorin's native language, and whilst his command of english is indeed superb, he may come across more bluntly than he intends.

He's a nice guy
