Re: Identity of Dornier Do 17 sought!

Hi Melvin,

Like you I reckon it is the same aircraft, The cockpit symbol also appeared on 3Z+GS of 8/KG77 Oblt. Gillion shot down at Horsmonden Kent on 3-7-40. I seem to recall reading it was based on a flag carried by German mercenaries in the 18th Century, but do not know if its use was exclusive to 8/KG77. Would the crops in the photos and the additional side gun in the E-bay photos suggest Sept. 40 rather than July,

Regards

Brian Bines
