Ju87 data plate
Found among a GI’s bring-back items is a small aluminum data plate marked…
JUNKERS Geräte-Nr “8-87 D-3 (Tp)” Werk-Nr “10 0302” “hls” Entries in quotes are engraved into the plate. JUNKERS, Geräte-Nr, and Werk-Nr are etched as per a manufactured data plate. Thoughts, please, as to the history/fate of this airplane? Thank you, Steve |

Re: Ju87 data plate
The NASM Bf109 was manufactured as a TROP aircraft. While the original data plate is missing, the DB605 engine data plate has a TP following the Gerat Nr DB605 A1.
In the one small book I have of Ju-87s, it states that the D-3 was the first version to not have the 'siren' incorporated due to a weight increase by added armor. In the book is a color plate of a D-3/Trop, S7+AA, of Geschwaderstab StG 3, based at Haggag-el-Quasaba, Egypt, late 1942. Book is Junkers Ju87 STUKA by Martin Derry and Neil Robinson. Tony |
