Ju 88A-1(3188) shot down on 17th Sept 1940

I found this photo somewhere on the web and I believe it shows Ju88A-1 Werk No 3188, that was shot down during the BoB by ES Boy Marrs of 152 Sqn (and others). Certainly the location looks right for Salisbury Plain. Can anyone confirm?

I found this photo at the weekend in a book I was looking at a show - I forget the name now - but it covered all the Luftwaffe Losses in the BoB and confirmed with the same photo what I thought; that this is Ju88 3Wk No. 3188.

This is Ju 88 A-5 version. Note inset ailerons, and longer tips.
W.Nr. 3188 L1+XC was also Ju 88 A-5 version, so this could well be it.
There are more photos somewhere, but they dont show codes.
