Re: Werknummer plate
Hi Henofred,
Not a problem! - All Ju 88´s main W.Nr´s. plates had 088 added as ´designator´ (except the first eight JFM prototypes and most of the six-figure ´Secret Code´ numbers from mid 1943 onwards), so you have the correct W.Nr. - except the last line - could it be Rep 3.43 (meaning ´Repair Date´ March 1943)? This one does not have another accident listed, but that is no concrete evedence, it could have had major overhaul performed as REP. This one originally came from Siebel at Halle, in about April/May 1942, having ATG fuselage (and most likely also tail group). It was then more than one year old and likely been once (or twice) to overhaul.
8650 Ju 88 A-4 IV/KG 6 (Luftflotte 3)
Non-OPS (H) crashed and burned (90%) near Chateauroux 23.09.1943 (F Lt. Horst Höhner, B Gefr. Max Schwarze, BF Uffz. Helmuth Habicht and BS Obgefr. Heinz Blinkensieb killed)
