Andy,

I ran all 55 photos coded F1+F_ in the EoE DB and reached the following conclusions:

a) this photo is not in our DB.

b) this is very similar to a film strip in the ECPA Coll in Paris that shows Do17Zs from from 8./KG76 with crewmen in and around them. Some are dressed almost identically to the men in this photo. Therefore this could be a PK photo from that photo shoot from either the ECPA or the BA Collections.

c) this is almost certainly F1+FS of 8./KG76. The visible elements of the photo exactly match what is visible on a photo of this a/c in flight. This may very well be the 8./KG76 a/c that was SD and FL at Castle Farm, Shoreham, Kent, England, on 30.09.40, although none of the photos that I have of this one show the vertical tails, so I can't see if that a/c had a tail-centered swastika or not.

I would strongly bet that this is F1+FS of 8./KG76 taken sometime during the WC/FC. What more do you know about this?
