The aircraft you refer to is the Bf 110. It was origianlly designed and built by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, which was assigned the RLM designator of Bf. This also extends to the Bf 109. After the company was renamed Messerschmitt AG, all new aircraft were assigned the RLM designator Me, while all aircraft previous kept their Bf designators.

yeah i know, my fault i do know the difference! i always state ME for some reason!

Its ok.

Ya know whats funny is cause the RAF called the aircraft (and the 8-109) the Me 110 and Me 109 during the war, many documents have taken it as cannon, even though we all know now its Bf. This is akin to allthose books written in the 1960s that tell of Soviet aircraft with incorrect designations.

Let's just call it the by the RLM designator of 8-110 and be done with it.

My two cents...and like testbed with Pe-2 and soviet analogue Argus 109-014 - VRD-430
