Ju86P/R losses

[Brian Bines]

I was trying to make up a list of losses of Ju86P/R models and found very few of the 37 built. There are several mentions from various sources stating a Ju86 was shot down by a Spitfire over the Med. on 24th Aug 1942. I could not find this on the Q.M's returns only a Ju88A4 LI+NL wn 140095 missing from a mission to Alexandria probaly to enemy action on this day. Would this be the Spitfires victim or did a Ju 86 also fail to return on the 24th.
One of the websites concerning the Ju86 also said one was shot down over Moscow by Spitfires of the 16th.Regiment in early 1944, was one lost in such circumstances or is the year/type of aircraft wrong.
Any help appreciated,

Regards

That's all I found for 2.(F)/123, too, Brian. There were others in service with other units, of course, but I'll let you fish those out! L.
