Re: Ju 88 WNR 853 +(H)A

Hello!

Before going to sleep I took the photo book "German aircraft in Finland" by Keskinen et al. (ISBN 952-5026-07-8 ) and paged around. It's been very long since I read the book last time.

Holy cow, at page 65 there are two photos of a Ju 88. Captioned as S4+FH and that the photos show two different planes despite the very same code. Problem number one with that is that at least I haven't found even single flight to Finland by KGr 506 (S4) Ju 88s in their KTB. Plus I think it plausible that the photos do show one and single airframe.

But now I noticed that the lower photo shows Stammkennzeichen under the port wing and the (last two) digits seem to be HA! Could it be that the DE+HA was repaired and unit markings painted on while at Malmi?

This is something that really has to be digged deep.
