JU88 loss over Manchester 4/5 May 1945

[schnellmeyer]

Thanks for posting edNorth , the JU88 took off at 0515( local time ) from Grove and flew in a westerly direction over the North Sea and passing over Middlesborough and then flew across England , finally over Liverpool and across the Irish Sea where the JU88 landed in Gormanston Military Camp . The date of this incident was May 5 , 1945 .
edNorth , is it possible that the four JU88 G-6 that you have in your notes are from NJG/3 and not KG66 ? The depature dates are the same for both incidents !
On a similar note a JU88 G-6 Wrk nr. 621800 "4R+LR" of III./NJG2 flew from Leck to Porto on 2 May 1945 with a crew of two , these guys did not wait for the final surrender !
