Seeking photos of Ju88A-1 shot down in the Firth of Forth on 16.10.39

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

According to our EOE Luft loss/damages DB:

"October 16, 1939: 1./KG30 Junkers Ju 88A-1. Shot down by Green Section of No. 603 Squadron (S/L A. D. Farquhar, F/Lt A. V. R. Johnstone, and F/O P. J. Ferguson) and crashed in the sea 4 miles north of Port Seton following attack on HMS Southampton in the Firth of Forth 2.50 p.m. (Ff) Oberlt Siegmund Storp, (Beo) Oberfw Hugo Köhnke and (Bf) Oberfw Hans Hielscher all captured slightly injured, rescued by trawler Dayspring. (Bs) Obergefr Friedrich Krämer missing. Aircraft 4D+DH 100% loss."

A well-known, and previously published-photo exists of what is reported to be this a/c on cables being salvaged out of the water with a crane. It appears to have some kind of shield on the nose, but it doesn't appear to be the "gunsight on an umbrella" on a white shield, known to be used by this unit at that time. Does anyone have any other photos showing this a/c after being salvaged from the water, especially if they show the nose area where this shield appears to be, or the rear fuselage displaying the 4D+DH code. Does anyone have any info on the W.Nr. of this a/c? Surely many photos were taken of this Ju88A-1 after it was salvaged, but we haven't been able to locate them.

Related to this question, another 1./KG30 Ju88 crash-landed at Westerland, Isle of Sylt, upon returning from this mission. It is reported as:

"October 16, 1939: 1./KG30 Junkers Ju88A-1. Crash-landed at Westerland on return starboard engine badly damaged in attacks by F/O C. Robertson and P/O J. S. Morton of No. 603 Squadron following attack on British Fleet in the Firth of Forth 2.50 p.m. (Ff) Lt Horst von Riesen and rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft 45% damaged but repairable."

From the German side of this story, are any photos of this one known to exist, and does anyone have info on the W.Nr. of this one?

Regards,
