Re: Info needed on Ju88 W.Nr. 0886083 (?)
Hi Mike,
Many Parts were marked this way "88/xxxx". Same "difference" so to speak.
(Main Airframe Makers acceptance plate whould have carried 0886083)
Does not prove this was anything but that this part was once on 6083, and as "30 Er" % indicates this needed repair at Factory level. There parts were repaired and used on next assembled airframe (not waiting for the other parts to be finished) and thus speeding up the repair process.
Fuselage number was the one carried on, other parts used randomly, and cases are known of aircraft having wings from two other aircraft, and tail from yet other.
(Ju 88 A-5 88/6146 in Berlin is one such rebuilds, but the tail was transferred to Ju 88 A-1 0119 in Norway, so currently its missing parts I guess, but I do not know the exact status on what the German plans are for this).
You have my email, I very much like see photos of them parts :-)
Regards
Ed
