Looking for plane code and pilot/crew names for Ju88A-5 WNr.4233 that FL in the Netherlands on 26.1.41

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

I'm looking for reference info on a Ju88A-5 WNr.4233 that FL on the beach at Zandvoort, North Holland, in the Netherlands on 26.1.41. This a/c apparently was assigned to III./KG30, probably 7 Staffel. Need a/c code and pilot/crew names, if possible. This a/c had very unusual prop spinner markings, which probably represent that used by all the units of III./KG30 during the end of 1940 and into 1941. I'm also looking for other examples from that Gr. during that period.

Regards,

[Jim P.]

Jim,

Does this mean that this is a II./KG30 aircraft, rather than a III./KG30 aircraft?

Regards,

Larry

May only be a relatively minor detail, but according to http://www.stammkennzeichen.de/ WNr.4233 had the stkz BI+RN, which was part of a stkz block.

No other info from this site.

BI+RO is the correct one!
