Ju88C-4 - when did it enter service ?

[Yeomans]

Two questions if I may :
i) When did the C-4 version first see service and in particular was it used during the of the Battle of Britain ?
ii) I think this version of the Ju88 was the first bomber to use the FuG16 transmitter/receiver equipment that was later developed for more widespread use in single seat fighters as the modified FuG16 ZY installation - I believe from about mid 1941. Again, I would be grateful for confirmation of that or for any further information.
Many thanks.

Many thanks Jim.
Do you (or any other Forum member) know if this was indeed the first aircraft to be operationally fitted with the FuG16 system ?

No idea.
