Re: Info request - Ju 88 T/S "RG+RW"
Christian:
In my opinion I shurely think a Ju 88 D-1 (Recce) model in 0430xxx range whould become a T-1 (High-Speed Recce) if fitted with Ju 88 G type wings, BMW 801 engines, retaining short fuselage, Bola removed, and smooth glass nose fitted. (Ju 88 H-1 Long fuselage´s with W.Numbers close to this are known conversions from D-1´s). There are other known with RG+R codes close to this (e.g. D-1 430813 RG+RI wreck in Norway is one) so full number should have been 0880430827 and first flight at Bernburg in middle of May 1943. Other unit assignments (than stated abowe) are unknown to me.
Coloured spinners however indicate it may have had other assignment before or after Rechlin, but may simply be parts taken from others. Exact location is not known and it does not appear in British A.I.2(g) lists of captured machines or wrecks - then Amercan Zone likely.
