Re: Help solve a mystery involving a 6./StG77 Ju87B force landed near Dunkirk
Ian,
Yes, these are the same Ju87 photos that I acquired on eBay. Ed North was correct in his reading of the plane code; it was S2+MP.
The Bf110 auctioned on the same day is not "elusive." Peter Cornwell has concluded that it was the following a/c:
"May 26, 1940: Stab I./ZG1 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat over Calais during escort sortie for Ju88s of III./KG4 and belly-landed at Bourbourg alongside the road to Gravelines 2.00 p.m. FF Oberlt Konrad Martin (Gruppen TO) killed, BF Fw Herbert Kräft captured wounded – later released. Aircraft < 2N+CB 100% write-off."
Both of these losses took place in the same general area, but probably about three days apart, although I believe that they were photographed 2-3 weeks later by whoever took the pictures.
Regards,
