Ed,

I've seen pictures of Ju 88's in Northern Africa which had names on them. On of them was "Traudl" which belonged to KG54. Another one was "Dohle". Not sure which unit it belonged to. See also this thread here:

But I've never seen a Ju 88 with part of the tactical code on the nose. Besides, the "dot" seems to be shaped strange,...for a dot.

I also would like to add that there is nothing else that can link the Ju 88 in the coloured picture to KG54. No skull & bones insigna on the nose, no diagonal coloured band on the fuselage.

Does anyone has a better picture of this FL aircraft? Even a black & white one would do. I also am interested to find out what's written on the nose.

Regards,
Rudi.
