Ju 88 A-4 Spinner
 

Can anyone confirm the unit that used such markings? Both Ed and myself think we know which unit but would like confirmation

This kind of spinner decoration was introduced by KG 1 during spring 1942.

Hi Chris

These images are from an album belonging to a man from 5./KG1. The propeller quarter markings are similar but only one has the additional circle markings; apparently in a different colour to those shown previously. The image with the Ju88 forming the background for the crew walking towards the camera has the two-tone markings and includes Major Herbert Lorch, Gruppenkommandeur II./KG1, appointed July 1942. Hopefully this helps a little in narrowing things down by being related but slightly different...! I assume the colours reflect Gruppe or Staffel colours.

Ring in Staffel colour, segments Gruppen colour (!?)
Seems all colors in use. Not markings expert per se on these.
