Mention of the Me410 at Cosford reminds me of my visit there over fifty years ago as a young ATC cadet, considering joining the RAF. Four of us went down to Cosford on an induction course and enjoyed lots of flying and shooting etc. However we had quite a bit of spare time and were shown the storage hangars which at that time held much of the itinerary for the soon-to-be-built BoB Museum at Hendon.
We were given free reign with the warning not to break anything.
I spent hours climbing over and into all these dream aircraft - Mosquito, Bf109, Fw190, Me110, Me410, Spits, Hurricane, etc, etc, etc. The Me410 was especially memorable for its cannon barbettes. I only had a little Kodak cartridge camera, how I wish now I'd had a decent SLR.
Frightening to think now that almost twice the time has elapsed since then, than since the aircraft at that time had been in action in WW2!
Tempus fugit.
