MILITARY SECRETS ARE THE MOST FLEETING:
RAF bomber losses were high even attacking
at night, the German night fighters were
able to get into the bomber stream and follow
the bombers to and from the target.
The RAF tried to jam the German airborne radar, without success.
A Messerschmitt Bf 110 night fighter crew, based in Norway defected to Scotland in
April 1943 and delivered to the British the
the advanced Lichtenstein C-1 radar, it was tested and new electronic counter-measures
were developed to jam it.
The Germans responded with new and improved
Lichtenstein airborne intercept radar.

Another German night fighter, this time a
late model Junkers Ju 88R-1 of 10./NJG3
landed at RAF Dyce its crew defecting.
Some reports say the men were double agents
but, we'll never really know, however they did have an escort of Spitfires to make sure they make it!
The Ju 88 carried the latest Lichtenstein
electronics equipment. This Junkers Ju 88 is
on display today at the RAF Museum, England.
