German night fighter JU-88 G-1
Captured by the German night fighter Junkers Ju-88 G-1 (Ju-88 G-1). On the night of 12 July 13, 1944, aircraft from the 7./NJG 2 pilot mistakenly landed at the airfield in the English town of Woodbridge (Essex). As a result, the allies captured the newest JU-88 at that time with the German aviation radar FuG 220 Lichtenstein is SN-2 and FuG 227 Flensburg direction on board, seen here at Woodbridge, United Kingdom1944, The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II German Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft. Designed by Hugo Junkers' company in the mid-1930s to be a so-called Schnellbomber which would be too fast for any of the fighters of its era to intercept, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Affectionately known as "The Maid of all Work", the Ju 88 proved to be suited to almost any role. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying bomb during the closing stages of conflict.

Despite its protracted development, the aircraft became one of the Luftwaffe's most important assets. The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945, and more than 16,000 Ju 88s were built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. Throughout the production, the basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged

Nice images in Post#240; they show two different aircraft: The top one is Ju 88V 5 D-ATYU to trial the pressurised cabin of the Ju 288. Apparently, it was known as "der bomber mit der glasveranda", as is the bottom two interior shots, whereas the 2nd and 3rd photos show the Ju 88V 2 D-ASAZ.
