Found out who flew that Bf110! It's Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer - the greatest night fighter ace of all time with 121 kills!

Nor I. Its integrated into the museum below and you can walk into the bridge (There's even a lift for wheelchairs) from the Post WWII halls.

Did you see that Sydney Nazi Party flag? Bloody Nutters

Say thanks to your dad from me. Yes I did and they were. That's why they were interned during the war.
