Hello!

I am resurrecting this old thread because a debate on another forum reminded me about online photos of the topic Ju 88.

Sea Bird Publishing, Inc. site has alltogether some seven photos of the one and same Ju 88 S4+FH at Malmi. These can be found here:

"Finland in WWII, Photos" page 2 and 3 (there are 4 photopages)
http://www.grafixnpix.com/wwii/faf2.htm
http://www.grafixnpix.com/wwii/faf3.htm

Especially interesting is this one:
http://www.grafixnpix.com/wwii/ju88gvu.jpg
which shows letters D+E under the starboard wing, IMO confirming that DE+HA (WNr 853) became S4+FH. After all there is photo of KGr 506 +FH at Malmi with H+A under port wing (see my earlier posting in this thread).



Perhaps this is of use for someone,

Kari
