Stuka initial dive bomner training school (1 of 2) at Graz
emblem for I.St.G.168 Billbert
Code letters for aircraft with S1
The S1 unit code on Ju87s of I./StG76 during May - June 1940 is well documented in photographs and was perpetuated on their redesignation as I./StG3 in August 1940.The S1 unit code on Ju87s of I./StG76 during May - June 1940 is well documented in photographs and was perpetuated on their redesignation as I./StG3 in August 1940.

Of course it could be off another trainer craft or HS 123 or perhaps a very early Ju 87 stuka parts .. Billbert
none the less the base is most likely a ctoss sectioned prop on this fine rememberance..
Since German industry couldn't deliver the needed powerplant at the time, the Ju-87 V1 was fitted with a British Rolls Royce 12-cylinder, supercharged, liquid-cooled vee Kestrel engine with 391 kW (525 HP), as was the first prototype of the famous Messerschmitt Bf-109 fighter. The Kestrel engine drove a two-bladed fixed wooden prop. Engine cooling proved problematic, and so the V1 was refitted with a larger chin radiator, which did nothing to improve its looks.
