Bf 161 V2
Reconnaissance version of the Bf 110, with a new nose. Development was abandoned when it was understood that much simpler modifications of the Bf 110 would do the job. Two models built the V1 (D-ABBA) powered by 2 Jukers Jumo 210 engines, and the V2 (D-AOFI), powered by 2 Daimler-Benz 600A engines. The V1 went to Rechlin and the V2 went to Augsburg and later to Peenemunde West and was used for towing the Me163A. |
