Identity of Ju 88

Hi,

Can anybody please identify the unit of this Ju 88 in this photo from Don Brebner's photos from 1 Squadron SAAF. I think the location is Martuba or Derna in North Africa, 1942.

Photo No.66 'abandoned Ju 88'

Last two code letters 'BT'

Thanks,
Doug

Re: Identity of Ju 88

It looks like the first two code letters are B3, partially painted over. That would make it 9./KG 54. The lists of wrecked and captured aircraft for North Africa may say more but I don’t have my copies to hand at present.

Re: Identity of Ju 88

I have got this as B3+BT at Sidi Barrani. No known date however.
