Ritterkreuzträger Me110 any idea who John Vasco John Vasco ?

View attachment 689307

Don't recognise the face.

I'm thinking night-fighter with all of the ordinance immediately behind him.

Also, the spinner points to an 'F' or 'G' variant.

Edit: the reverse of the photo says 'Johnen'. So probably Wilhelm Johnen, a famous night fighter ace.
