Matzos, have a look at this website page, dedicated to one of these ME262B-1a's, which were fitted with 4 of these cannons. This is an original one captured and taken to the USA at end of WW2.

This one is in German, but has lots of photos and details. There is an English navigation menu, though.

Thanks mate, here's one request,

camo; army;

[Bombardier]

Ill give it a go mate.

I have just done a quick search and came up with diddly squat.

Is it definately wesendolf and not perhaps wessondorf ?

[Matzos]

I have just check my prints, :o :o I got the name wrong! it should be Wesendorf A/F

Sorry about that clwn;

[Reloader]

Matzos, I also did a search under 'Wesendorf' and got a few hits. The airfield is also listed here, if it's any help for further enquiry:

AND, if you do a search as follows: "wesendorf"+"WW2" you'll get quite a few more hits. All the best with your search.

[Matzos]

Thanks Reloader (Y)

I have also find the following the Bf 109G-10 could carried either a 20mm MG 151 or a 30mm MK 108 cannon that fired through the propeller hub.
