The real puzzle, since this is appx 1945, is why the unit designators are with such big digits and letters.

Blow the picture up to 200% and I believe I can see the horizontal bar of the H on the lefthand Heinkel.

The white bands, the unit code styles and the Heinkels with KG 26 all point to much earlier in the war than 1945

Still cannot see 1H on the left hand Heinkel Nick
I can see your point, but the right hand vertical bar in the H is then far too close to the cross, which is not the case with the right hand Heinkel where by the way the H is very clearly visible. As far as I am concerned we have two 1T and one 1H aircraft visible in the picture.

I agree it must be much earlier than 1945. Scrapyard in North Africa seems a possibillity.

So in the fall of 1943 a Ju 88 coded "1T+FT" should have belonged to 9./KG 26. This unit was equipped with Ju 88s and was based in Southern France. To me this fits the information we have on this photo...

The other Ju 88s in the list are coded 1T+ as well (but don't ask me to get my A3 folio case down from on top of the cupboard again, so I can list them here!)

Na, I'm good, don't worry
