Need ID of KG30 Ju88A probably Holland 1940

Hello,

I've recently acquired a photo of a Ju88A, probably of 2./KG30, from 2/3 left front, with the left main gear collapsed. It has the I./KG30 umbrella in a gunsight insignia on the nose, and what looks like a red or black "I" or possibly "H" as the aircraft code, outlined in white: possibly 4D+IK would be the code? It looks like it has a yellow rudder. I've seen this one before, but can't place where. It seems to me I may have seen this captioned as at Schipol AF Holland. Can anybody help with the ID of this one?

Thanx,

Re: Need ID of KG30 Ju88A probably Holland 1940

Hi Larry,

This one also came back in the parallel thread on KG30 in Holand, but for completeneness:

I also have the picture in a book, equally difficult to interpret the exact code. I had 4D+IH, LH, IK or LK.
But there are references to such an accident in any sources I know of.
My interpretation is therefore that this accident (not necessarily due to ennemy action) happened when I./KG30 moved to Schiphol towards the end of May 1940. I don't have the exact date for this move.
I remember there is a book on Schiphol in WW2, which could contain more details.
Hope this helps,

Pieter
