Re: Ju87 BI+MC in Reggio Emilia (Italy)
This Ju 87R-2, wr. nr. 5686, was the delivered to Regia Aeronautica, becoming MM 7071. As such, it was in service with various italian units at least since november 1942. On 12 august 1943 it was damaged, even though repairable, at Lonate Pozzolo. Probably it was seized by the Germans after the armistice of 8 september 1943.

I think it's likely that this aircraft was noted at Reggio Emilia during the delivery flight from Germany in 1942.
