The aircraft belonged to 1 Gruppe of KG 30 and crashed east of Petsamo air base on December 2, 1942, due to an engine fire.It was rescued in 1994. Just the cockpit section and some rear fuselage parts are still existing. The aircraft was sold to Hamburg, Germany in 1995 but went then further to a Belgium collector, Christian Vanhee at Leopoldsburg. It is intended to rebuilt this aircraft with the support of a technical unit of the Belgium Air Force. For the reconstruction of this aircraft parts of another Ju88, c/n 140242, 4D+DR are used, which was also rescued near Murmansk, where it crashed in June 1942. Also a center section of c/n 430813 from Bodo is used for the reconstruction.
