Re: Photos 11-26, part one

Most interesting Ju 88 A-1 (w. early fabric covered rudder). Possibly this records fate of W.Nr. 0010, 5010 or 8010 - of LG 1 (coded L1+xx) - and photo in my opinion most likely taken spring/summer 1940 (III/LG 1 ?) in the Low-Countries, Holland, Belgium or France, May - June 1940, or is this in Norway April - June 1940 period ? III/LG 1 did lose a few there in that period and one photo of L1+FS is known with simlar camouflage (below).

Details include "high" division line between RLM 65 and 70/71 on fuselage, later (1940) style fuselage cross - this had broader White arms in cross - (i.e. October 1939 or later), this was standard in early 1940 when 5010 and 8010 were produced so likely not 0010 as that was already flying in July 1939 - when looked pic closely in Photoshop the fuselage cross shows slight trace of repaint (!?)

(Besides W.Nr. 2010 is known with IV/KG 77 1941, 3010 and 4010 are also possible, but 6010 and 7010 are both known later). Are there other known fotos of this incident or wreck? (anyone)
