Do 17 P - 1,000FF - Trouville - 1940
 
Some time ago at least 3 photos from a 1,000FF cerimony held at Trouville were sold. One clearly showed the codes 6M from Aufklärungsgruppe 11.

It seems that from June up to September 1940, Trouville was used by 4.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 11.

Is there any information about that unit's 1,000 Feindflug sortie? I mean which were the crewmembers and the full code of this Do 17 P?

I thought that Aufkl.11 only used Hs 126...but it seems they also used some Do 17P....how many is known?

I saw these but was puzzled. Yes it was a Do 17 unit in Poland and France but by BofB was converting to Bf 110/Ju 88 (albeit its last Do 17 loss was an accident in Oct 40). No record of it being based at Trouville (which is not on Larry & Doug's list?) and a 1000 missions by 1940 is a bit suspect. For example, it took 1./123 until 18 Jul 42 to fly its 1000 missions
