- 05.06.40 I/JG1 five LeO 451 and two Potez 63 (could it be DB-7 No.31 from GBI/19?) Nesle at 10.40-10.50
- 06.06.40 I/JG1 15 LeO 451 mostly by Roye at 16.40-17.10

Hi,

merci bien!
This Glen Martins from GB62 and GB63 were indeed shot down by I/JG51 and probably by Franz Goetz from 7/JG53 (claim over Campiegne at 14.30).
