:D Appreciate the kind words Mr cimmex... but just to be clear with regards the LEMB's position with regards the sticky subject of "what if's", we do indeed have a sub-forum cunningly called "Projects, Prototypes "What If's" 1933-45" and although the subject doesn't float my boat, I have to say...
Afternoon all...
Having finally managed to log-in... most, if not all of the questions being asked here have been answered in subsequent posts above... but if anybody wants to make contact with me away from the forum so that I can reinforce their understanding, you can find my contact details...
We have a fairly extensive thread on the walking cane/horseshoe emblem on the LEMB here but we didn't get to the bottom of who it belonged to...
Cheers
Pete
:) Many thanks indeed for that... Its interesting to note that the document claims that S9+CK was a Bf110C-series whilst John Vasco, in his recent "Messerschmitt Bf110C, D E, An Illustrated Study" captions this example as a Bf110D-0/B...

Just to add still further, the location has been tied down on the LEMB to the famous Brunnthal scrapyard/aircraft collection point, which was south east of Munich...

Thanks for the pointer Mark, and I'm pleased to confirm that this example is already on the database. As I mentioned in post #6 of this thread, the most recent update of the database can be found here, just click on the LEMB Ju88G-database link and save the excel file to your PC...
Just to add...
As I understand it from the 435+ post thread on Ju88G-6's over on the LEMB, these were Ju88G-6's which originally served with KG2, but were then taken on strength of V./NJG2 without having their fuselage codes changed. This however is far from conclusive and there are some that don't agree with...
Not at the moment Mark... other examples of Ju88G-6's coded U5+?T in the LEMB Database were found at Fritzlar Neubiberg, so they would be favourites. If we get any positive feedback or info over on the LEMB, I'll happily post the details here :)
Cheers
Pete
No probs Mark... its unusual for me to find the time to spread my wings away from the LEMB and in this instance, its time well spent especially when we see a nice new Ju88G-6 image and a new WNr to add to the LEMB database :)
Cheers
Pete
Anoraks eh Mark... thanks for that my friend... ;)
For the record guys, this is a new WNr for our ongoing Ju88G-6 Database (which is kindly hosted here) and a Ju88G-6 possibly coded U5+GT of V./NJG2...
Nice shot Mark, thanks for sharing it with us... if we determine the location, I'll post it...
Hi there guys...
You might want to check out the following book, hot off the press - "Junkers Ju287, Germany's Forward Swept Wing Bomber" by S.Ransom, P.Korrell P.Evans - more details from the publisher here or from Amazon here...
The EF-131V-1 flew for the first time on 23rd May 1947...
Hi all...
With regards the Me262 in the UK, from the pages of "War Prizes" by Phil Butler, at least two were flight tested.
AirMin.51, a Me262A-2a WNr.112372 from 19th September 1945 thru to 29th November 1945 it made several test flights there totalling some 8hrs 15min flight time...
:shock: What a great set of images BigZ, thanks for posting them! Can I have your permission to post them on my message board? We have a thread on this Ta152 and these images would be the icing on the cake!
With regards the WNr, this has since been confirmed as WNr.150020... see Focke-Wulf...
