Hello,

The photo that Andy posted is MCN3479 in the EoE MCN photo DB. There are three others of similar content in the DB, confirming that the W.Nr. appeared on both sides of the fin. If he has five photos of this wreckage, Andy apparently has one that isn't in the DB. Interestingly, the tail of the a/c does not contain the large white vertical stripe that was applied to the tails and top wing tips of many I./KG77 Ju88s in early Sept., 1940, at least not that I can see in any of the views that I have. Other than the tail wreckage, the rest of the aircraft was utterly destroyed and burned out. Any's posted photo shows the best overall starboard-side view of the crash. Other close-up views of the tail wreckage leave no doubt as to the info that the W.Nr. was 2151.
