All

A few questions re Ju 87R wk. nr. 5709

1. Does anyone know where it was manufactured? Weserflug in Bremen or Templehof?

2. Year of manufacture?

3. Was it a R-2 or R-4?

4. Shot down over Litsa Bay (attacking shipping?) by fighters (?) on 28th May 1942. Crew parachuted to safety?

TIA
Dave

Dave,

Are you fishing??

I did some research on her 20+ years ago. I'll have to dig it out.

Thanks Leo, that confirms several things, most appreciated.

Mark....just updating the info I have from years ago, some of which was more speculation that fact.
Could be going fishing though- I have a few days off ;-)

cheers

Thanks, I just discovered that a few days ago doing a search. Unfortunately the photos in the first post are no longer able to be viewed.
