Gazzas Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I've got this on a model, (not an Me-110) but I can't see it in the few Dornier Do-217N photos that are out there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radub Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 FuBi 1 (or FuBi 2?) radio navigation aid. Many Luftwaffe aircraft had it, some had it covered with a clear plastic "sleeve" (such as He 219). HTH Radu Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Also worth noting Gaz that the picture you posted is from the Hendon Bf110G4; it is incorrect in that there should be two sets of three support brackets and hence two lots of horizontal wires.

I was wondering why the He-219 part was clear! Thank you! Edited September 6, 2019 by curiouslysophie Wrong name on the antenna!

Jack Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 In general vertical antennae are communication devices, and horizontal (or close) are used for navigation purposes, so it concurs with what has been noted above. mozart and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it looked suspiciously short. Thanks! mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
