Re: Ju 88 of 3/KG 51, Godstone, 12 Aug 40
I can't find a Godstone near Portsmouth? Is that correct? The only Godstone I can find is in Surrey.
In the Battle of Britain by Roy Conyers Nesbit, there is a photo captioned as being the aftermath of this incident. The caption reads roughly as: Ju88A-1 9K+CL 3./KG51 - flown by OberGefreiter Dickel, was shot down by fighters over Portsmouth on 12 August 1940 but crashed near Godstone, Surrey, where it broke up. Pilot killed other crew members missing.
The photo is from the authors collection but I'm sure I have seen it before in other publications. From the look of the wings and life boat compartment it's a Ju88A-5 also.
