Re: VVObdL Ju88T remains from the Thames Estuary...

Matti,
The D-1 430678 D7+FN is in your db. It was lost with Westa 5 (Wekústa 5) when downed by U-boat 10(11).06.44), but earlier it had an accident with 2.(F)/123 at Tatoi (Greece) in September 1943. Thus two references exist for D-1 430678 after April 1943. And this is not in lists I have of Ju 88 T-1 conversions. Unfortunately this is not complete.

As I understand things, the T9+FH was 0880678 (given Ju 88 0678 in GQM losses), an older Ju 88 A-5 converted to Ju 88 C-7 by Junkers.

Other Ju 88 C-7 (0648 T9+EH) had four blade props and has several known photos. But an Ju 88 C-7 with remains of an large waterpaint "8" on cabin side (0648 or 0678) had three blade VDM props - this has known photograph in unknown "southern country" (one groundcrew is wearing sunhat) - possibly Crete (?)
One Ju 88 C-7 was reported with 2.(F)/123 (07.42 to 08.42), reportedly the K9+VH in Crete (this can have been the third or 0678 but info on this is scarce. Best article yet out on C-7 is by Peter Achs, in Flugzeug Classic, 11/2005, altho focus is on the Torbocarger testing).
