Of the 1146 German aircraft found on Danish airfields after the German surrender 37 were Bf-110 variants. This aircraft was recovered from Grove (now Karup) airfield after serving with 1/NJG 3 tasked with the night defence of Denmark and Northern Germany and has been fitted with a FuG220b Liechtenstein SN-2 radar. Due to the wonderful foresight of someone in the Air Ministry this aircraft was selected as early as May 46 for long term preservation and ended up at the RAF Museum in 1978.
