Erich, thats fantastic. I assume that it dates from the end of the war as I think I can make out a Willys Jeep behind the plane.

 

"Air war over the atlantic" by Manfred Griehl. - Must consult with Mr. Amazon.
Some nice photos of the big bird.

 

Hello James,

Rémi

 

Remi , as far as I can recall I got these from the Bundesarchiv , must have been back in or abouts 1989 or thereabouts that I got them.
Will look them out and see what reference is on the back of them , from memory I think there was something to identify sources.

 

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks for this.

 

Some more info on the two Ju-290's shot down.

 

Just out at the end of July 2017, "Shadows over the Atlantic" by Robert Forysyth. (Osprey Publishing).
Covers the operations described in this thread , all in all a very good book.
The author links JU-290 9V+DK ( Karl-Friedrich Bergen) to the claim made by Squadron Leader Wright.
WW2Talk gets a mention in the credits.
