Hs 130 GM+ZG Rechlin 13.05.42 (FB Staege)

The correction for the loss date for C-7 0678 must be wrong.
The aircraft was in FRW Villacoublay from 01.03.1943 - 03.03.1943 for repair.
(RL 3/1919)

Hi

These are interesting posts.
The Ju 88/0678 was actually lost in 1943 (I have made a mistake).
Interestingly, only three casualties are listed, which actually points to a Ju 88 C / T. The version of the Ju 88 is unfortunately not listed.
Maybe there is a "crashed enemy aircraft report" for this aircraft ?
I think the SKZ GM + OQ (sorry, it must be GN + OQ) is very likely.

best wishes
JoMe

post 38 GM+OQ ? Not GN+OQ ?

#37 Agree. Clearly written C-7 678.
#38 No Ju 88 T had been made or delivered by time of loss (20.04.43). Sources state C-7 678 (without the 0 but that was very common), and loss sais Ju 88 0678 (narrowing possibilties considerably) but strength list (www2.dk) for 1.(V)/Ob.d.L. does not appear in that website. Maybe it was never there?
#39 GN+O is correct block. Several pictures are of A-5 0673 GN+OL at Villa (30.08.44) and colour video on youtube or Critical Past, and that plane was there for long time and never left, scrapped by Allies as already shot up. Its final scheme appears single-tone Dark Green (French?) and very similar to French Gray (darker then Hallgrau or Hellblau).
