Summary

Description
British English: A captured German Messerschmitt Me 110 C-5 (W.Nr. 2177) of the reconnaissance unit 4.(F)/14 (5F+CM). This aircraft was shot down by the Red Section of No. 238 Squadron RAF on 21 July 1940 at Goodwood (UK). The pilot, Oblt. Friedrich Karl Runde managed to put it down in relatively good condition. It was repaired by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough with parts from Me 110 2N+EP of 9./ZG76 (Oblt. Gerhard Kadow) that was shot down near Wareham on 11 July 1940. It was flown for the first time again on 15 February 1941. Later it was tested at RAE Duxford, painted in Royal Air Force (RAF) colours (RAF registration AX772). It was assigned to No. 1426 Squadron RAF after the end of the trials. Stored in November 1945, it was scrapped in November 1947.
