Yes, it Ju 88 D-5 W.Nr. 0880430005 4U+UL of 3.(F)/123 was not that much damaged, 40% Er, after belly landing in high grass field (probably close to Lannion as there are dummy Ju 88´s in the foto brackground) - the rear canopy´s also crushing the vertical fin on jettisoning - but it was repaired and changed (engines) to Ju 88 D-1, known twice at JFM FRB at Villacoublay for servicing in summer of 1943, before last serving with Wekusta 2 Ob.d.L., and eventual loss as D7+KK 16th December 1943.
