Re: Seeking date & ID of 14.(Z)/LG1 Bf110C FL on French Beach circa 08.40

Hello,

Still no resolution on this one, but a careful study of unit loss/damage reports for the Battle of Britain make this almost certainly an incident in July or probably no later than 13 August, during which time there were several possible incidents that could be this a/c. There is a very distinctive church in the background of the second photo, which may not have survived the war and the building of the Atlantic wall, but may provide the key clue to this location, perhaps from a contemporary postcard.

Any French church experts out there?
