Interesting pictures, it looks like a JU88c without a gondola, and what looks to be the same 37mm cannons that were used on the He177 fighter prototypes. (I could easily be wrong about that) and I have no idea what is mounted under the nose were the ventral gunner gondola would normally be mounted. Very interesting

At first I thought it was a variation of a P-2 with two 37mm cannons. but I can not find any reference of radar being installed on any of the P series aircraft. nor can I find any info about trainable 37mm or 20mm guns installed on a C series aircraft. Or any other pictures of what is mounted under the cockpit.

Very interesting couple of pictures!

If any one is unfamiliar with what version of the He177 I am referencing here is a photo, so possibly 30mm not 37mm guns.

Actually it is quite difficult to state it is the same Ju-88G. There are differences between them. The one in the post #1399 ( the left pic below ) has the prop spinners painted black. Also there is the lack of the flame dampers. Additionally the kite has the engine cowling painted light overall. What is more the frame of the cockpit glass was painted dark.
Contrary to that the Ju-88G in the post #1401 ( the right pic below ) has the spinners painted light. The flame damper of the port engine can be noticed. The frame of the cockpit is light coated and the engine cowlings are painted dark at tops and sides while the undersides are light.
Certainly both of the images could have been taken at the different time period and locations. However the flat tyre of the Ju-88 in the left pic, the lack of the rear part of the cockpit hood and opened engine cowling accessing panels may suggest an abandoned aircraft. All that togheter with the Spitfire of the no.401 Squadron RCAF in the very late war uniform indicate an airfield in Holland ( Netherlands ) or Faßberg in Germany where the squadron was disbanded on 3rd July 1945 but not the Great Britain rather. The Ju-88G D5+GH came to the Ireland flown by German crew on the 5th May 1945 so she couldn't be in the technical condition in the Netherlands or Germany at that time. Just my opinion.

Ref post #1410.
These certainly are different aircraft, the aircraft in the left picture with a Spitfire has BMW 801 radial engines, the one on the right has Jumo 213 A V-12 engines.

I found some Ju-88s from a similar forum, thought you'd all be interested in these. Also, they are originally from Ebay. Does anyone also wish to have a guess?

kind regards.
