The last digit could be either a 0, 6 or 8. Since it does not look like a landing accident you walk away from
I would say 42-76000 is out.
Also adding the fact the photo is on the German e-bay making it likely to have its origin from a German
and is thus even less likely to be -76000.

42-76006 reportedly had the code 82, and if that is correct, she is out as well.

42-76008 was shot down by flak 7 June 1944, has no known code and seems to me to be a much better
candidate, perhaps the best?

Post 2831 #4 is Battle K7696/QT-I of 142 Sqn, lost on 19 May 1940 (3 crew POW).
It was often photographed by Germans, in increasing states of disrepair.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

#6 looks like Battle L5231 of 142 Sqn, lost on 10 May 1940 (3 crew POW).
I had the code as QT-G, but on cross-checking I see that some sources list it as QT-C.
Confirmation anyone please?
