Bf-110 in private collection …

[Mark Allen M]

A privately owned Bf-110 with FLAK damage from WW2! It is in a private WW2 collection in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Yea, I was wondering about that too! That's one I've never heard of before. Is it a mock-up or replica? All the surviving Me-110's are pretty well known and I've never heard of this one before.

Can anyone add details about this?

Replica with a number of original parts - nice job

Nice, it now qualifies as a “Static Warbird”.

It would be interesting to know how original it is.
I have heard it described as a replica (as above) or a composite made up of sections from several aircraft.

If it is a viable project, it would be nice to see it fly.

It couldn't be any more difficult (or expensive?) than getting the new build Mosquitos flying.

I wonder what became of this Bf110, shown being recovered from Somma Lombardo in Italy and transported in a Facebook post from three years ago

Moved from one private collector to another (in Pisa), although the last I heard the new owner was going to display it 'as is.'

Not sure I would agree with that. The fact that the Mosquito's started with all new wood is a big plus in getting a project into the air. For a project like this Messerschmidt, you would have to take the whole aircraft apart, inspect and rebuild to airworthy spec. There is not much experience in doing that for this type, and you're dealing with two rare and expensive engines as well. Essentially, you would be building a Bf.110 from the ground up.
