Re: Ju 88 L4+AK

Hi Brian. This particular photo (abowe) was part of album lot marked April 1941 - sold on eBay a little while ago - and indeed is Ju 88 A-5 (longer wings), althoug photo may have been taken a little earlier than April, I think, but this plane may have been an A-1 version earlier.

The I/LG 1 moved to Bulgaria for the Yugoslavia/Greece campaign (therefore possibly seen at Orleans/Bricy before April 1941 but may also have moved out from there in April, after possible repair/overhaul - as right engine "Power egg" seems having new and fresh paint) and them two drop tanks suggest a long ferry (eastwards). But this is not facts, just what I think, based on some checks, looking for L1+AK, some weeks ago.

best regards
Ed
