Hello everyone!
I've a Junghans instrument panel clock (picture attached) that was 'liberated' by my grandfather from (legend has it!) a 109 that he, as local village policeman, was sent to guard after it had crash-landed near Dymchurch on Romney Marsh, Kent, sometime during 1940... Apart from the manufacturer's markings on the stopwatch button plinth, the only other marking is the number 18414 which has been stamped into the flange. Is this likely to be a Werke Number that would allow the aeroplane to be identified?
Following a similar plea for information in a recent issue of Aeroplane (which drew a complete blank!), I've been contacted by a chap in Belgium who has a similar clock. However, this has a number of markings stamped on the back of the clock including a Gerat Number (127-553A) and a Werke Number (887923). He believes it's from a Ju88, an idea that seems to be driven by the '88' in the Werke Number - I don't think it's that simple! Can any one enlighten us please!
Many thanks
Chris
