    Ummm... I don't have a book on the Bf 110, but I doubt there was a 110 with a bombsight. If there was one, I suppose it never got past the prototype phase... There were versions with cameras and mock guns, but I don't think this qualifies as a bombsight :D

    Hi Gahis,

    >Was there a bf110 with a bombsite?

    There was the Bf 162, a bomber derivative of the Me 110, which looked remotely similar to the Petlyakov Pe-2. The Bf 161 was its reconnaissance version. However, these designs aircraft were canceled in favour of the Ju 88, which started out as a high-speed bomber, too. Only few prototypes were built.

    Regards,
