Re: VVObdL Ju88T remains from the Thames Estuary...
I presume it had two BMW 801 engines and two VDM props.
The Ju 88 was basically twin engine.
W.Nr. 0880678 was originally an Ju 88 A-5 version. (Thus not an Ju 88 T). Official loss has it as D-6, but (I think) it was an Ju 88 C-7 Zerstörer-Recce Experimental (an conversion).
0678 Ju 88 C-7´ [T9+FH] 1.(V)/Ob.d.L.” (Luftflotte 5)
OPS (F) rep downed by enemy fire (100%) unk location (Chelmsford) [was downed near Chelmsford, Essex, Britain] 20.04.1943 (F Lt. Hans Bäumer mis/rep ´killed´ in f/05.05.43 ~ rep POW in England c/26.06.43, Lt. Paul Hunold and Ofw. Hermann Dietz mis/rep KIA f/05.05.43)

Reason: typo, GQM has "correcting entry" 20.04. to 20.02.1943, corrected as c-7 (see below)
