Hi

What was the Stammkennzeichen of the Junkers Ju-88A-4 W.Nr. 10096, 5T+CK, belonging to 2./KG 101?

Cheers,

This is the W.Nr. that appears on Robert Forsyth book, Mistel: German Composite Aircraft and Operations, p. 98.

10096 was the W-Nr. of the Bf 109 F with the Stkz. VE+TP. The W-Nr. of the Ju 88 A-4 was 2559 (KI+CI) and 5T+CK was the Vbkz. of the entire Mistel. It was the Mistel V5.

Hi Peter

According to the same book, the Bf 109F-4 of this Mistel was the CD+LX (WNr. 10 130), correct?

Best regards,

I don't have this book and don't understand what you mean. 109/10096 and 88/2559 was one Mistel (V5). The 10130 was the 109 of another one (Mistel V7).

Hi Peter

See below the photo and caption in the book on Mistel.

The information on this Mistel is wrong?

Anyway, something strange is this Mistel use a version of the late 'Elefantenrussel' while all other Mistel of the 2./KG 101 use the early version.






"It is possible that this is was the aircraft which F/L Dinsdale and F/O Dunn shot down on 14 june 1944. A Mistel S1, Bf 109, W.Nr. 10130 (CD+LX)/Ju 88A-4 W.Nr. 10096 (5T+CK) White 5, is reported in German records as being shot down that night with Ofw. Heinz Lochmüller (Bf 109) wounded and Oblt. Albert Rheker (Ju 88) posted as missing. In this picture, the Ju 88 appears to carry the white tactical number '5' on its tail fin - similar to the Mistel shown on pages 95, 100 and opposite. The Ju 88 has been fitted with a warhead, whereas the Mistel quoted as lost was a training variant, an S1, but it should be remembered that removal of the Ju 88's cockpit and the instalation/de-instalation of a warhead could be executed relatively simply and quickly, suggesting that in this case the warhead was fitted temporarily, possibly for photographic purposes."

The image and text are from this book:

Yes, both Mistels the V5 and V7 were lost on 14/15 June 1944 and belonged to Eins.St./KG 101. And the Mistels were not S1 but Mistel 2.
