The aircraft was substantially damaged at 40%.
On the night of 28/29 January, RAF Bomber Command raided Berlin with three Mosquitoes, bombing between 21:40-45 hrs.
This Messerschmitt was modified for Mosquito hunting. The entire armour and all the guns, except two cannons with little ammunition, had been removed, also the exhaust covers and drop tanks. In addition, the machine was smoothed over and polished and flown with only a two-man crew (memorised by Oberleutnant Dietrich Schmidt).
