Owl (?) Insignia on Do 17
 

Can anyone help ID this unit? I have found bomber, recon, and a training unit that had an owl insignia but not a direct match. FFS (C) 16 looks close but I do not know if they ever had Do 17s in a training role.

That's more likely a Do 17Z from Wekusta 26, which used the identical emblem.

Script Flughafen Westa (Wetterstaffel) confirms this

If someone could read the code on this belly landed aircraft, Calais apparently, that might give a clue on the unit that sported that emblem in 1940...

You are very welcome - I believe that this emblem was also described in one of the more recent? editions of LimF. Not sure what the conclusion was.
