Re: Unidentified He111 insignia on two force-landed a/c Western Campaign

Hello,

Late last May, I posted a question about the ID of a unit insignia that had an unusual wing-type design. We really got nowhere with the identification of this. I've since obtained several photos of what I think are three different He111s carrying this insignia on both sides of the nose, all probably force-landed during the French Campaign. I'm now suspecting that these could be from 1 and 3 Staffel of an U-I Gr, possible I./LG1. I've now got very clear images of this insignia, which I didn't have before. It turns out that Ketley/Rolfe did have this in their reference book, but at the very end as an U/I emblem. I've attached a copy here. This obviously was on aircraft of a main-line He111 unit that lost several a/c during the FC. With this additional info, can anyone help with an ID of this unit? or have further photos of any of these forced landings, perhaps showing unit codes?

Thanks for any help.
