Re: Seeking photos of 9./LG1 Ju88 FL in France on 18.06.40
Update:
In post #2 above, I referred to a Ju88A coded L1+FT being towed away after a forced-landing for salvage on a farm cart pulled by a tractor. I no longer think that this one might have come down in Norway
I think that according to the EoE LW loss DB, those photos show this one:
"21 May 1940: 9./LG1 Junkers Ju88A-1. Crash-landed near Cambrai, France, and possibly that attacked by F/L Leathart of No.54 Squadron west of Boulogne 1.57 p.m. BS Gefr Herbert Rose badly injured - admitted to hospital in Cambrai, BO Uffz Gottfried Jakubowski, BF Fw Friedrich-Karl Meinshausen, and FF Uffz Richard Tilsner all slightly injured. Aircraft 100% write-off."
Does anyone have any other photos of this crash, or the originals of the one mentioned in the post above? There were apparently two losses of 9./LG1 Ju88s during the WC with the code L1+FT; one on 21.05.40 and another, its replacement, on 18.06.40.
Can anyone be of further help here with photos or information?
