Hi...

Thanks for the link to this site... some interesting images.

Appended below is one image from the Ju88 section. Is anyone able to confirm this is KG76? The umbrella in the unit insignia does not sit at the correct angle to be the 4./KG76 insignia (Ketley's 2012 edition 'Luftwaffe Emblems', p94 #414), and it appears to completely lack the 'duck wearing a tin helmet' motif over which the gunsight was positioned.

The barest minimum of the unit's parent code may be seen to the left of the fuselage cross - a very slight horizontal bar and a very feint 'point' - might this be the top of the 'F1' code of KG76?

Because of what I perceive is the unit code 'F1', I have discounted the possibility of it being a KG30 aircraft, if for no other reason because that insignia is usually set against a shield motif (Ketley's 2012 edition 'Luftwaffe Emblems', p86 #361).

Regards,

Paul
