Yes, that's it! well done Harrison.

Just as I suspected.

The number immediately made sense, and I knew I recognised the item it was fixed to.

You have a Dornier 17, Arnaud.

So so great...

Thank you very much, guys...

The piece was found isolated by a girl many years ago a couple of kilometres away in the East of Rethel (France).

600 meters away from that there, I have a crash site probably from May or June 1940 where was found this piece :

I will make researches about a Dornier 17 shot down East Rethel in May or June 1940 and find the crash site : no more direct witness!

Bon vol

Then the lens makes sense. I am sure this is from a Lotfe bombsight; hence Dornier 17 also makes sense!
