Re: 8./KG 30 April-June 1942 at Kemi - any photos?

Hello!

Resurrecting this until today unanswered thread.

This photo from:
http://www.nuav.net/luftwaffe4.html


  • KG 30 (4D visible) Ju 88 from Bardufoss. Could be either II or III Gruppe (4. and 5. Staffel one week at Bardufoss November 1942 (https://www.ww2.dk/air/kampf/kg30.htm).
  • Seems to have Eastern Front yellow ID band
  • Third letter colour (white or yellow?) points 4., 6., 7. or 9. Staffel.
  • Is somewhere better (bigger) picture available? Cannot make the last letter. Could be S or R or could be my wishful imagination
  • Does the "J" mean actually "I"? (see my opening message). Staffel had usually 9 planes, I is 9th and J 10th letter of alphabet.

Additionally:
What colour was the KG 30 Wappe background for the III Gruppe?
Any knowledge about Staffel markings/colours on spinners etc.?


Cheers,
Kari
