Re: The "Dornier" pictures of my grandfather

Hi, Volker...

Welcome on board... your photos are excellent, and very clear despite their age, and being stored under you granmother's bed... !

Photo 2 is very intriguing, especially as I can't quite make out the unit badge on the Ju52.

Photo 3 is a Dornier Do17M (bomber) or P (reconnaissance) aircraft.

Photo 4 is a very sorry-looking Dornier Do217K.

Photo 5 I think is a Focke-Wulf Fw200C.

Photo 6 is a Dornier Do217E of KG40, perhaps based at Bordeaux/Merignac. The 'F8' code can be seen on the fuselage, and there seems to be two small white letters on the fin, perhaps 'IP' or 'AP'. Either way, if this was the rest of the code, it would make it a machine from 6.Staffel/KG40.

Photos 7 & 8 are both Dornier Do217s, 'E' and 'K' respectively.

Photo 9 is a Dornier Do17Z coded U5+FS, from 8.Staffel/KG2, quite possibly on the Channel coast during 1940.

Thank you very much for putting these on the forum. I hope if you have any more, you might like to share these as well. In the meantime, I hope you'll find the forum an interesting and informative place, not to mention friendly as well.
