Any ideas as to the type available via these two links... my initial thoughts were that it was a Ju90/290... but the rudder and window configuration just doesn't match up with my sources...

Also... any comments on the code ?J+O or Q?

Cheers

I have a picture of Ju 90 V4 of about the same angle of view, so your first guess of Ju 90 was not so bad...8)

Thanks for that Robert... my primary sources don't cover the Ju90V-4 so the features I mention are not evident... but the codes visable don't match that recorded for the V-4. Acording to the Junkers webpage -http://www.geocities.com/hjunkers/ju_ju90_p2.htm

Ju90V4
coded KH+XA, later J4+DH, G6+BY

Looking at the same listing, I think it could be:

Ju90A/Z2
BJ+OV, later J4+KH

...which matches the partial code on Ed's Ju90...

cheers
