ME-328 Canopy

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me if the two piece, framed canopy on the ME-328 parasite fighter design opened via a starboard side hinge a la the ME-109, or did it slide back?

 

I've seen plans with both the two piece, and a one piece blown canopy (the latter obviously must open via a side hinge), and am unsure about this detail.

 

Cheers for any help that can be provided.

Mike, According to Warplanes of the Third Riech "The Me328B-0..the cockpit canopy hinged to starbord. Space did not permit provision of an ejection seat, but the whole rear fuselage aft of the pilot's seat could be jettisoned by means of explosive bolts to facilitate escape."
