Luftwaffe crashes in Cambridgeshire

Just to say a big thank you to everyone who has assisted my research for Volume 3 War Torn Skies Cambridgeshire so far I have been incredibly honoured by your efforts and all will be mentioned in every section they have assisted. I still need further help, whilst having amassed detailed eye-witness accounts I am still looking for pre- crash pics of crews and aircraft, crash scene pics, and pics of crews / individuals in captivity for the below listed aircraft. I would like to add that anyone who is interested may have all my research notes on these crashes after my book has been published probably in July 2008. But in meantime if I can help anyone with their research of course I will.
I have heard recent rumours that photographs exist of the Dornier 217 (F8+AP) that crashed at Orwell near Wimpole on 8th September 1942 as well as its crew members, now I have a very fuzzy one of F8+AP preparing for take off and thats it , can anyone confirm these rumours?
Cheers Julian
