Re: 3.07.1942 - Ju 88A-4s of 2./KuFlGr 106

Chris, there was a series of photos taken at mid August 1944 showing airmen of 303 Sqn with their trophies with BM144 RF-D as the background. About 15 August Zumbach exchanged his mount for a new one, EP594, so those are the last ones with his most faithfull Donald Duck. If the photo you mention is the one I am thinking of, it is F/S Mieczysław Popek and F/S Arkadiusz Bondarczuk. I have got a Daily Sketch dated 1.09.1942 with one of the photos.
I have a description of the German mission from a 1943 booklet but have not got interrogation reports yet. Still not sure what was their mission.
Anyway, I am surprised no photos of wrecks surfaced, especially as they were not very common in Lincolnshire at the time.
Do you know if any of the airmen is alive or how they can be contacted? Via KG26 association?
Thanks
