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)
