Some more from the Berlin Technical Museum...probably the finest engine display of any museum I've been to. The exploded view is incredible, oh to see a Merlin displayed this way.

Regarding the decision to continue production of Messerschmitt types in Czechoslovakia. My understanding was that the nation wanted to reestablish its' industry as quickly as possible with whatever was left after the war. The procurement of Soviet types was only brought on by the Communist coup that saw the elimination of the first post war government. Or am I wrong on this?

What unit is the Me110 depicting? While dachshunds are clearly popular dogs in Germany (and elsewhere), I had never seen one as a unit insignia until this picture.

The unit it served with, 13.(Z)/ JG5

Thanks Dave, you are correct. This was in the collection of Sir Tim Wallis at one point. I think I remember the tour guide saying it was assembled from 3 airframes.
