Zerstörer (note 5 crew!)
Zerstörers had three crew.
Plane was Ju 88 A-5, W.Nr.0880504 (PB+GB) of 11./"Gesch. Bongart"
Ghostbombers (Nick Beale) has
880504 PB+GB, omitting the first in number (really was 0880504) But we do not know if this code was in fact painted on or omitted.
It once had been an A-5 (F) Recce with 3.(F)/33, but in 1944 it is known (reported) many times...
