Great pics, thanks for sharing!

The Ju-88 was an amazingly versatile aircraft. Did the Allies have anything analogous? If so, what? Mosquito, B-25, P-38? Something else?

A/B-26?

For the Ju.88 under restoration:

1) What explains the large "X" mid fuselage on the right side?

2) What is the green fuselage? section behind the Ju.88?

The 'X' denoted that the aircraft had been testing a new radio system, X-Gerat. It was painted over prior to it undertaking combat sorties but was revealed again following recovery.

The restoration team are also working on a CF 104, so that may well be the green machine in the background.

cheers
