JU-88 ?

[Graham Boak]

Certainly not a B-17, (which in its ECM role wouldn't be over the target area anyway) because this has wings of constant taper, as has the very similar Stirling wing. This aircraft has a constant chord centre-section and taper outboard. Like the Halifax, Lancaster, and Ju88. The aspect ratio (wingspan to chord ratio) appears too long for an 88, although this may be arguable (if we don't use the inappropriate A-1 as a guide!) but the 88 has greater outboard taper giving narrower tips.

This aircraft has too long a nose for a Ju.88, and I can see four engines (just). If you think of it as a twin, then the engines are too far inboard, they are much more consistent with the inboard pair of four. The tailplane is wide in chord and squared off, consistent with the endplate fins of the British bombers not the longer taper of an 88.

I still think it a Hali, but I guess could be a Lanc.
