I’ve recently acquired four clear pictures of the Ju88 as it lay on the dock wall. Two of them I had seen before, but the other two were new to me.
Ju001 (side view):
I’ve seen this one before, but not in so clear focus.
Ju002 (rear ¾ view – starboard):
This is the same view as page8 in the “Bromborough Dock Ju 88 Incident” E-book (see
New Ferry Online - Bromborough Dock Ju88 – which is a very nice compilation of available information regarding the Bromborough Dock Ju88)
Ju003 (head-on view):
I’ve not seen this one before. That’s the mast of the ‘Swallow’ gunpowder hulk just visible in the left background.
Ju004 (long-distance rear ¾ -port):
I’d not seen this one before either. Very interesting view in my opinion, as it shows the wreck in a wider context, and its proximity to the factory (was it Fawcett & Prestons?).
I’ve passed these photographs on to the author of the above E-Book, so that they may be considered for future issues.
Very sadly, my Dad passed away a few weeks ago, but I managed to show him these pictures before he went – he recognised them, and I think was glad to see them. I’m so pleased that his memories posted here on this Wiki thread and elsewhere have at least been recorded and will live on for future generations to appreciate. So thank you to WikiWirral for providing a vehicle to do that. Get those memories recorded folks, before it’s too late!
