StG 77 Ju 87 to identify?
 
At eBay here is a photo of a Ju87B of 7./StG77. ‘Otto Minga’ is painted on the cowling, presumably as a tribute. Confusingly the letters ‘J’ and ‘K’ are painted on the wheel spats. Does anyone have further info on this aircraft?

Re: StG 77 Ju 87 to identify?
 
I cannot confirm whether this Ju 87B-2 was coded either J or K on the fuselage, but as to its namesake: Fw. Otto Minga, a pilot in III./St.G. 77, was KIA 25.Aug. 1941 in Ju87B-2 WNr.5822 by enemy fighters near Weropajewa.

Thanks for posting the link, GRM
