Thank you for posting the photo and enlargement Stefaan!
A pity we could not find the WNr as that would have been terrific info!
Can you see from the photo to which frame segment the radio antenna is joining the fuselage? (G-2 alt. G-4 version)
Is it possible to post a larger picture? Perhaps via a URL to a photo host site like "Photo Bucket" or similar. (The thumb nail attachments does not allow larger quality photo postings due to Kb restrictions)
Your info on "near Mersah Metruh" and end of 1942 supports the earlier postings here claiming it was actually taken in N. Africa and not Sicily.
Regarding 12 Sq; It was a bomber (Martin Maryland Squadron), Right???
I did some checking earlier on bases which could be possible due to the aircraft visible as we have one Bf 109 G (JG 77??), a P-40 of 3 Sq RAAF and a LG 1 JU 88. One problem is that in the tumult during the retreat/advance, aircraft from units might well have ended up in other fields than their designated ones, as well as passing through or short time stays at dispersed fields. I did not come to a definite conclusion why I have not posted anything yet from that end. Will continue to search......
I posted the photo with the Ju 88 from LG 1,
L1+EH, hoping someone had data on where it was written off, helping identifying the airfield - Now possibly in the Mersah Metruh area.
No W.Nr on that one either unfortunately.
Anyone who knows more about this Ju 88?
Cheers,
Goran
