An interesting account!
In fact, they were both Ju 88’s and both from the same unit. Both landed in the same field. One intact, the other dived into the ground and exploded.

It used to be on mine….!
Oh, and here is a Ju 88 canopy that I have recently “steered” in the direction of Shoreham. This came from a Ju 88 downed at The Jumps, West Tisted, Hants, on 15 August 1940 and I bought it a few years ago from a local resident. Glad that it now has a good home instead of my store!
Have you seen this relating to the shooting down of the Tisted Ju88. It mentions another aircraft, any ideas what that was? http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/67/a6043367.shtml

No wonder it was called a fast bomber, as it has a very slender section, narrower even than the mosquito of a similar size, I estimate.
I too was surprised as just how small the cockpit looks.

What an excellent exhibit. Was this in a Norwegan museum previously?

in the Crowood book on the JU-88, there are some pictures of some guys crammed into a JU-88 with the cockpit cover removed – they are in standard British brown 3/4 length “work coats” of the time, and very very snug indeed.

If you combine American ambition and Norwegian expertise in finding them – a JU-88 isn’t beyond the wit of man.
Absolutely, that, lots of rivets and lots of $$$$$$.

That is an interesting project! I would love to see a Ju88 return to flight but I know it wont happen.
There is a lot of JU88 material about that would fit the bill nicely, but I think they are just too darned big !
