… those belong to a Messerschmitt Bf110G-4/R6 of Erste Staffel, NachtJagdGeschwader Drei based in Grove, Denmark. They are the aerials of its Liechtenstein Fu220b SN-2 radar set, which turned this former twin engine daytime flying coffin into a lethal night prowler.
I/NJG3 was posted to the night defence of Northern Germany in 1945, whose skies were abused by Bomber Command almost on a nightly basis at the time. This aircraft was surrendered to British forces at the end of the war, and had a distinguished late career as a flying museum piece. It retired to the Bomber Hall of RAF Museum Hendon in 2016.
