If possible, I would also like to ask for any photos of this plane or just directing me to source where I could find them.
Was this plane D-1 or maybe D-2 version?

Kind regards,
Maciej

According to my mentioned source, it was a D-1.
Pictures will be difficult to obtain, since the plane crashed into the sea....

Best wishes

I've asked for photos as I already know one of a Ju 88, in my opinion D-2 version, marked 7A+NH from 1.(F)121 - it was published in WW2 Photoalbum #06, German Fighters Over The Mediterranean by Patrick Stephens, the photo was obtained from Bundesarchiv Koblenz (427/435/2).
As I want to build a model of this machine, getting some more photos would be great.

Kind regards,
Maciej
