Re: Can you identify a german aircraft by its main engine data plate??

This sounds more like Merkle's plate. This (the first image) came my way a while back but I do not believe it to be a main engine plate.

I believe that the two plates at the bottom in the collection of five plates are the two main engine plates.

(Steve: again I see TP, and this was certainly from a Trop. Ju 88. Although I don't know sufficient about tropically operated 88s I would suppose that, at the very least, they would have tropical dust/sand filters and the like)

PS.....Steve, a book on German data plates by your good self is long overdue!!!
