Re: JU-88 D-5 without gondola

Hello again Falcon04;

Yes this aircraft is likely the same 430087 A6+CH as was shot down here (see on Flyvrak). As a matter of fact I own a piece of skin (showing part of code A6+) same side as is visible in this photo. The thin overspray is RLM 76 (paint sample from skin confirms that)! However what this photo does not show is the Iceland map on the other side of the fin. I tried attaching a photoshop image of sister aircraft - also gondolaless - but file size was to large and the smaller format destroyed all the fine details! I have nothing against Gondolas, neither in Med area or here. Thanks for pointing out where this photo is published, I had not seen it before (any photo credit given?) besides my ref to D-1 variant was just regarding no airbrakes, the C-6 had them also removed.

Cheers
ed
