JU88 4/KG30 4D+AM Jonsvatnet April 1940

[edNorth]

Well, Kjell Flyvrack website number is my suggestion, it looks to me as coming from Bernburg, therefore 0880xxx where 0 (null) was for FZB (Bernburg). I too have same eBay 2008 pic somewhere. Maybe one day the full number might come.

But John, there were Four Ju 88 waiting for salvage about date 21.04.1940 in RAF HW5 "Ultra" message. They likely were U4+TK, 4D+AM, 4D+EM but fourth is unconfirmed, I had photo of this (code not visible) but seem have misplaced it.

This was very thrilling, a forth Ju88..hmm.
You definately need to find that photo

I know there is photos RAF took on recon missions that shows a/c on the ice, but I have only found images taken from long way that don't tell much.

What is HW5 ultra message?

John and all,

the writing on the back of the photograph reads as: "Beim Landen war ...(?)... im Morast steckengeblieben und hat sich überschlagen."
Sorry for this, but one word i can't decipher.

Free translated in English it means: "During landing it stuck in mud and turned over."

Norbert!
Thank you!

I guess it says the a/c was stuck in the bad ice and turned over during landing. That confrims that this was a landing accident.

The missing word is simply "er" - der Bomber - ("he" in the meaning of "it")

Thank you for translating the writing on the back..
You must be doctors ? :-)
In Norway we say that it is only doctors that write like that..
