Hi again;

Which other forum? Does this mean that ANOTHER ´Aenderugstufe´ plate has been found in an Ju 188 D wreck somewhere else? The other (general) information I know.

Cheers

Hi Ed!

I am talking about LBB forum (from luftarchiv.de).
Nothing more, because I placed same request.

Re: crashed Ju188 D2 in Poland - help

Hello again;

I have now Jet & Prop 01/2002; it contains an press cutting from Polish magazine ´Militaria´ from 1997 but also one more. I will post them via private mail :)
Some appear as mirror images on your scans (or are ones in Magazine mirrored!) One more thing: the individual letter ´D´ appears painted on one of the cockpit windows.

cheers

I have no hard data for this W.Nr., but for several W.Nrs, on either side of 150520 assignments were either to ( F)/121 or ( F/)122 . There was a TOCH thread on this aircraft around Jan 4, 1999. I will see if I can dig it out and if it had any more detailed information. That thread did indicate the a/c was shot down by Russian fighters.

Best Regards,

Artie Bob

Hi Artie Bob!

Thx for offer! Waiting for results of digging;)

PS I have got additional info, that in canopy were found maps for Italy and Yugoslavian area!

Quote:

IMHO maps for Italy and Yugoslavia can be explained as:
- liaison/ferry flight from Mediterranean to Eastern Prussia / Estonia;
- standard equipment of long range recon planes;
- standard equipment of special mission planes;
"Unfortunately" this plane had radar so first idea seems to fit the best.

Ju-188D-1: Reconnaissance version of the Ju-188A-2; It did not carry a bombsight and the crew was reduced to three. The nose MG151 was usually deleted. Cameras were mounted in the rear fuselage (similar to the Ju-88D and two ETC racks were sometimes retained for carrying drop tanks. Bomb bay fuel tanks were usually installed to increase range.
Ju-188D-2: Same as Ju-188D-1 but with provision for carrying FuG 200 Hohwenteil search radar.
