Re: Mystery Ju 87-B Fuselage Section

Everything points to this being 'sourced' from a UK crash - although therin lies the puzzle. Which crash? Could it have been pulled out of the sea and brought ashore?
I do wonder if it arrived in the UK (for examination) from France during early 1940 and ended up at Farborough and then the scrap heap. Unfortunately, there is no record of any such thing but I wonder if these codes crop up on any known French crashes?
The only other possibility is that it was brought back from mainland Europe in 1944/45 - but would they really have bothered?
There is one other possibility. Could it be the 5./StG 1 aircraft (0528) which was lost off Brightlingsea on 11/12 Feb 1941? This was reported as J9 + DL. The other codes don't match up...apart from the D.
