My workmate gave me a CD of scanned images from his late German Grandfather in Law's WWII photo album, as they had been saved in a Coraldraw file format that he couldn't open. Unfortunately none of the photos were labelled, but for the cover which said 'The war'. He was based in the Netherlands where I think a lot of the photographs were taken. Some of them are of wrecked Luftwaffe (JU-88), Dutch (I think, the type is unknown to me and not an expert at non RAF aircraft) and RAF (Burnt out Wellington and the Blenheim) aircraft, plus my friend reckons Herman Goeing is in one of the Photos. I think he is right (photo attached). Anybody have a clue what the identity of these aircraft are (A long shot, as I’ve no details of where they were taken). If not, no problems.

Re: Research help

Hello Bigvern,

The third image concerns Wellington R3170 of 99 Sqdn which crashlanded on 6th July 1940 near Haarlem.
I can't open the first one, can you perhaps check this file?

Best regards,
Hans Nauta

Hello Hans

Thanks for the info on the Wellington.

I've had a play with the the first file and reloaded it on the post in question. It's a Ju88 and looks like its coded

5J+IS

Aircraft is badly damaged and in a ditch from what looks like a landing accident.

The other aircraft looks like the remains of the front half of a Fokker D.XVIIin front of a hanger.

Regards

Richard

Re: Research help

At least the date is sommer/Autum 40 for the Ju88, the only time that KG4 had Ju88..
