Re: Ju 88 T-1 or S-2 at Bergamo - Werknummer 43026? - Info available?

Agree, 43028x or 43026x might be the number, if fin has correct airframe attached (fin might have moved between planes, such happened and can confuse ...). But I find no match at Bergamo, might be other location.

But it had FuG 217 Rostock radar antennas on wing suggesting overwater work, and this is in lieu with 430 (small) 2xx (larger), suggesting repair/rework (refit) with ATG/Siebel but this is not often seen on D-1s.

Version appears "normal standard" Ju 88 D-1 to me (has Jumo 211 J / VS 11 props) and had "larger Beetle Eye rear armament bulges" (lying there on ground) but the Ju 88 T-1 had BMW 801 radial engines and often singe gun canopy (a la A-1) with MG 131 or larger (and certainly not "one off" Big Belly Ju 88 S-2 with turbocharged BMW 802 TJ engines!)

There is Ju 88 T-1 (unburned) from same sellar, but not same plane!
Also the "Ju 188" is not same (BURNED) plane, obviously ITS AN Ju 88 T-1 ;-)
