BBQ Salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and cucumber salad in case anyone cares…..Anyway, some more from the same reference:
In August 1941, Becker scored victories with 4/NJG 1 in Do-215 G9+OM. Bordfunker was Uffz Josef Staub. Note the date.
There is a picture of Becker after returning from a sortie "probably on 17/18 August 1942". At the time, he was Staffelkapitan of 6/NJG 2. On the same page there is a picture of a Bf110F-4 coded R4+EN of the same Staffel in the summer of 1942. It is not stated to be Becker's machine but it's worth noting that he was more likely to be flying a Bf110 with the code R4+?? at the time of your engagement. He was flying Do-215 G9+OM the year before. The picture of R4+EN shows the camouflage to be the early style splinter green scheme (possibly 02/71 or 72? – this is me guessing as the colour demarcation is quite pronounced which I would not expect with a 71/72 scheme). There's another picture of Bf110 R4+CC flown with the Gruppe Adjutant with a similar paint scheme. So, I'd bet that Becker's machine on that fateful night would have been a Bf110 coded R4+??.
"At Leeuwarden on 26 February [1943] 30-year-old Hptm Ludwig Becker, Staffelkapitan 12/NJG1 a great night fighting tactician with 44 night victories, waited to fly his very first daylight sortie. Shortly before taking off from Leeuwarden 1135 hours in a formation of 12 Bf110s of IV/JG I led by Hptm Hans-Joachim Jabs, in pursuit of American daylight raiders Becker was informed of the award of the Eichenlaub (Oak Leaves) to the Ritterkreuz (Knight's Cross), which had been bestowed on him on 1 July 1942 after his 25th night victory for his leading role in the development of the night fighter arm. They intercepted B-17s and B-24s, returning with claims for two shot down but Becker's Bf110 was lost without a trace. Completely at ease and master in the night battle against the British bombing offensive, the 'Night Fighting Professor' and his Funker Fw Josef Straub fell victim to the gunners of B-17s and B-24s of the 1st and 2nd Bomb Wings." Location of his disappearance is later given is "N of Schiermonnikoog".
EDIT: re the code G9. II/NJG 2 became IV/NJG 1 on 1 October 1942 so aircraft codes would probably have converted from R4+ to G9+ at that point. So Becker's Do215 would have been G9+, then his Bf 110 in Sept/42 would have been R4+, then when he went down in his 110 in 43, the code would have been G9 again.
