Re: photographs of crashed Do17 U5+DA on ebay.

Hi BF 110
The following link http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/commonwealth_vale.htm may be of help/interest
Towards the evening on 16 April six 80 Squadron Hurricanes were scrambled to intercept bombers (reported as Ju88s), which were attacking a munitions factory half a mile from Eleusis. Pilot Officer Vale and Pilot Officer J. Still each claimed one destroyed near the target, whilst Sergeant Edward Hewett chased another to the north and claimed this shot down as well.
The German bombers appear to have been Do17Zs of Stabstaffel/KG 2, which lost three such aircraft – reportedly in the Larissa area. These were U5+GA (Leutnant Ludwig Rohr), U5+BA (Leutnant Heinrich Hunger) and U5-DA (Hauptmann Konrad Ebsen); all the crews failed to return.

Please note when searching site that Aircraft is entered U5-DA & not U5+DA

Kind regards

Ross
