Hi,

If both photos are of the same a/c and i expect that they are then the Squadron/aircraft codes are "OL-P" which was 83 Squadron codes. P1171 was shot down over Kiel by flak on the night 1/2 July 1940.
Crew were -
P/O. D. Redmayne, Sgt. C.Lee, Sgt. O.S. Gander, Sgt. G.F.Little.
ALL were buried at Kiel.
