Re: Stab III./StG 1 26 Feb 41
There are several III/StG 1 'incidents' in the Mediterranean that apparently did not make it onto the Quartermaster's loss reports, including several that were photographed (i.e., so - they happened).
Mahlke's Ju 87R-1 "ought" to be J9+AB (I'm skeptical), or J9+AH, but photos of the repair show 'G' on the forward area of the removed wheel spat. I don't have a Werknummer for this one.
Other photos taken after that memorable return from Malta feature Theo Nordmann's J9+MH, "Lee-on-Solent" with a hole in the starboard side of the fuselage after the oxygen bottles were hit.
GRM
P.S. "Iolanthe" refers to a cartoon pig in an unlikely barnyard 'romance,' and was used as the Stukakette's emblem in the Legion Condor.

Reason: add 'P.S.'
