I know, thats why i doubt it. Is it possible that A Ju 88 P-3 recived it as test armarment. Yes, but not the standart.
Overall the BK series are land based armarments. So its not impossible.
Isn’t Leuchtspur abbreviated as L’spur though?
Yes, but here its not an idicator that it has an Tracer, but its the model designation for the tracer unit (the part itself, which is screw in). And its Navy ammo and designation, which is sometimes different from Army and Airforce.

A few things to note:
-It’s a bit weird that there is no proper pic of the gebirgsflak 38, because they are quite easy to find
-Another weird thing is the fact that there are no pics of the flak 30 and 38 with their shields mounted on them, it would be cool to add some to see the difference, because their shields were different
-A better explanation of the differences between the flak 18, 36 and 37 would be welcome. I know there wasn’t much differences between the 36 and 37 (only the sights iirc), but there were a few differences between the 18 and the 36/37 (I think it was the fire rate iirc, but I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I checked).
Other than that, the topic is excellent.
The 3,7 cm Flak 18/36/37 are identical guns, only the mounting changed, all have the same fire rate.

Ah yes, I just checked, and the 180 rpm was the theoretical fire rate of these three guns, but it was the practical fire rate that was different between them: 80 rpm for the flak 18, and 120 rpm for the flak 36/37.
Yes, because they doubeled the length of the loading tray, while on the 18 and the 39 (Romanian Lincesed copy) it only could fit one, on the 36 and 37 you could directly put 2 on.
Also added already some photos.
And text.
