Unknown plane in Greece

[obdl3945]

Hi, Byron...

This appears to be a bit of a conundrum. I think the code is likely to be 6G+LR, which would make this an aircraft of 7./St.G.51 prior to July 1940; thereafter, III./St.G.51 became II./St.G.1, retaining the '6G' parent code.

In this image, we can clearly see the letter 'R', the 7.Staffel indicator. However, if you're correct about the location being Greece, I am presuming the photo was taken sometime during the Balkans campaign of 1941, but this would conflict with the redesignation date of III./St.G.51 becoming II./St.G.1. Without meaning to doubt you, are you sure the photo was taken in Greece?

The subtype would appear to be a Ju87R, given the fuel tanks evident in the photo.

Regards,

Paul
