The odd thing with it, is that there are plenty of photos showing it captured more or less intact (hit by AA-fire),
and also plenty of it showing it completely wrecked by fire.

Anyone who can talk me through what happened?
Was there a time set device onboard blowing it up or did the Germans set fire to it perhaps by accident?
Aircraft itself would have been too valuable in an almost undamaged condition.
