Hello Eduardo and Robert ,

Thanks ! Some losses could match with that plane ( Merville for example ) .
However the date is read from a book of local history , it could also be 9 or 10 June 1940. In fact losses from 8 to 10 June interest me , at least with one crew member who died from his wounds.
Any idea ?
