Hi Flupke,
indeed a real lucky chance this picture appears right now; thanks!

At first glance I thought it was not the same a/c, given the straight lower left angle of the third letter, which makes it unlikely a U. Also on the last letter K one would expect to see the upper branch.
However, looking at your first picture from your initial post one sees the unusual letter style that makes it plausibel this is indeed the +UK. Both the U (with straight corners) and the K (asymmetrical, with a short upper arm and a long lower arm) are non-standard characters.
Which brings us to the first two letters.
I would love to read U5 (so KG2), but I think it is UE, making the total code UE+UK, a Stammkennzeichen. Also because no Staffel colors are used for the 3rd letter. This SKZ is unfortunately not listed in the LEMB database, so not able to verify.
It makes if highly likely this was then a reconnaissance aircraft.

As to the location, like the title of the auction says, I also read Villerzie at best. Which is a non-existing name. The closest I then get is Villers-sur-Lesse, close to Han and Rochefort and well within your target area around Gedinne. But then again I have no confirmed recon losses around that location.

So much closer already, thanks to your pictures, but not there yet.

Regards, Pieter
