This is a nice and rare glass framed Lichtenstein radar unit label which has some markings still clear to see it is something to do with the antenna on the front of the aircraft it does still retain some of  there original colours clear to see. The label is in relic but solid condition and have been nicely cleaned perfect for display and have been mounted in to a glass fronted box frame with information and lots of pictures  the frame is 10 half inches by 10 half inches in size. The part comes from German Messerschmitt ME110 work number 2072 of 2/NJG 4 which took off from Florennes in Belgium on the evening of 5th October 1942.The plane was on intercept mission on British RAF bombers who were on a raid over the City of Aachen the aircraft eventually ran out of fuel and crash landed at Attigny in the Ardennes Forest Belgium. The pilot was Unteroffizier Suhre he jumped clear of the plane but was wounded.

The German Lichtenstein FuG220 intercept radar was installed in twin engine night fighters. In addition to the numerical coding, it had the code Lichtenstein SN2. The Lichtenstein FuG220 intercept radar has a relatively wide cone of search, around ±45°, direction finding for flying targets was good, being 1.65:1 for 10° off centre at an operational frequency of 90 MHz. The forward cover against flying targets was excellent and the ambiguities not yet serious. The Lichtenstein FuG220 had an instrumented range of 8 km, however the greatest practical range of the set was limited to the flight altitude, beyond ground clutter appeared on the scopes. The minimum detectable range of the set was limited by the T/R switch around 900 meters. For to improve the limited near range resolution of the Lichtenstein FuG220 an additional Lichtenstein FuG202 was installed in the Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-4, C9 + EN night fighter.
