Re: Info request - Ju 88 T/S "RG+RW"
The Ju 88 was built as an Ju 88 T-1 by Junkers in Merseburg. These T-1 from Merseburg were no “conversions” but built from new “Großbauteile” from the D-1 (which never saw Bernburg.)
After the first flights at Merseburg in July 1943 the aircraft was transferred and converterd into a flying testbed for jet engines at Staaken. Since May 1944 the E-Stelle Rechlin and Lärz used the Ju 88 for testflights with the BMW 003 (e.g. 003/061 and 074). The photos of the RG+RW were taken at Neubiberg.
