Re: Trying to id WC or BoB Ground Collision between Ju88A & Bf110C of 5./ZG76
Hello,
1) The color of the prop spinner tip visible on this a/c is red. I've got over a hundred photos of II./ZG76 a/c from 1940 in the EoE Photo DB, and this is how the red appears on 5 Staffel prop tips. That's how we know that this is a 5 Staffel a/c
2) As a result of the info supplied by Matti and the photos by Peglar, Peter Cornwell has now adjusted the EoE Luft Loss DB as follows:
"26 August 1940 Western Front Amend: 4.(F)/121 Junkers Ju88A-1. Overshot runway on landing at Caen-Carpiquet and crashed into dispersed Bf110 of 5./ZG76. No crew casualties. Aircraft 20% damaged but repairable.
26 August 1940 Western Front Add: 5./ZG76 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Stationary aircraft wrecked in collision with Ju88 of 4.(F)/121 after landing at Caen-Carpiquet. No crew casualties. Aircraft M8+EN a write-off."
Except for the individual a/c code on the Ju88A-1 (7A+_M) and crew names for these a/c, I think that this incident is quite adequately resolved thanx to Matti and Peglar.
Ain't the internet and the TOCH Board wunnerful!
