Found at Istres/Le Tube, forward section burned out. G in black with yellow outline. Had FuG 200 aerials on nose. The report says "2629" was painted on the fin but on a flame damper, in yellow, was "GP 301532": http://www.ghostbombers.com/dragoon/appx1b.html

Since a 3Z+GP had been destroyed by strafing at Istres on 16 June 1944, this is quite likely to be that aircraft.
