Re: Ju88A-6 balloon cable-cutter

I have been trawling through the pics on my pc and found an interesting photo, attached below.

In my collection, I have attached details provided by another contributor that the 'umbrella' emblem was not now considered to be solely a 1.Staffel emblem, but rather an emblem used by all three of the I.Gruppe's Staffeln.

This appears to be confirmed in the attached image from an expired e-bay auction in 2012, where the last letter is clearly a 'K', denoting 2.Staffel. This likely explains why there is no white applied to the propellor spinner on the pic in post #5, as I now think that aircraft is in fact a 2.Staffel aircraft, with red (partially or completely) applied to its spinner, which would probably show as a dark shade in a black/white photo.

My apologies for the omission of this detail first time around.

Regards,

Paul
