Re: Seeking photos of Ju88A-1 shot down in the Firth of Forth on 16.10.39
Hi all
Not a theory anymore, I guess. New info on Ju 88 A-1 4D+AP downed 29.03.1940 has come forth. "It would be neat to identify the harbor where this salvaged Ju88 was photographed. Looks like a long breakwater in the background – Coquet ?" Royal Aircraft Establishment "Enemy Aircraft Report" EA 10/1 (dated April 1940) confirms Ju 88 A-1 code 4D+AP was landed at Import Dock, Blyth, Northumberland. I do not have have the actual report, only the index from obscure 1969 RAE cataloge. Anyone have copy of this particular RAE EA reports EA 10/1 to EA 10/20? Since image of Ju 88 picture in question is no longer visible, this is on Flickr "ww2images archive" photostream (open source) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ww2imag...03735/sizes/z/ Similarity to these cranes, the furthest is possible (photo from 1910) http://www3.northumberland.gov.uk/ca...%208046-08.jpg or this ones http://www.flickr.com/photos/5189301.../faves-flyeye/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/5189301.../faves-flyeye/ but breakwater-quay (?) in background matches this photo from Blyth http://www.flickr.com/photos/blythfo.../faves-flyeye/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/5189301.../faves-flyeye/ Happy new year Ed Last edited by edNorth; 17th January 2014 at 18:47.
