"L5???, Has to be a Battle then, could be last letter "H" "M" or "N" of the Squadron code or a aircraft in Squadron letter.

JK107 152 Sq went missing 24 April 1943 when it was lost to Flak near Massicault. It was flown by F/Sgt Utterson who was also MiA

The individual does not look German so the photos indicate the wreck was found later.

From other photos around this time it seems No 152 Sq only used a single letter code, L.

Cheers
Stig

F/Sgt. John UTTERSON - 1369512 - RAFVR , became a POW, at Stalag Luft L6, Heydekrug. POW number 1107. ( ref: RAF Commands database).
HMAW vol 3 ( page 535) has the loss of JK107 as being the 24th April 1943, one of four of 152 Sqdn's Spitfires lost that day.

The man in the photo looks to me to be an American Air Force officer.
Wonder if he could be identified by someone ?
