On display since 1978 at RAF Museum Hendon in the markings of I./JG 51. This Emil was built in Sep 1940 at Erla Maschinenwerk in Leipzig. The E-4 had 20 mm MG FFs mounted as standard in the wings to replace the engine-mounted 20 mm cannon. This E-4/B was field-modified with an ETC ventral fuselage rack to serve as a Jabo that could carry one SC 250 bomb. It was bounced by Spitfires from No. 66 Sqn. on 27 Nov 1940, forcing Lt. Wolfgang Teumer of 2./JG 51 to make a wheels-up landing at RAF Manston. The captured Emil was repaired and used for demonstration flights at RAF units.
