Hi, Rudi...

Thanks for that. As far as the 'R' is concerned, I suppose it could have the same meaning as the 'R' in Ju87R, namely Reichweite, which I believe is connected to the fact that that version carried underwing fuel tanks to extend the range. However, I would have thought the usual term of Fern (Distance) would have been more appropriate to denote long-range. I suppose it could just be a typographical error, since F and R are close to each other on a computer keyboard, perhaps on old type-writers etc, as well... all very strange.

Regards
