Looking for info on force-landed Ju88A 4U+UL of 3.(F)/123

Hello,

I'm trying to determine the identity of the following photo which recently appeared on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...romZR40QQfviZ1

It shows a Ju88A, 4U+UL, from 4.(F)/123 belly landed somewhere in the West during 1940-41. I thought that this was probably an a/c that FL at Langendiebach Germany on 27.5.40, after being hit by flak on a recon mission over France, but one of our researchers says that he thinks he saw a photo of this a/c auctioned that indicated that this was at Paris-Orly AF, France, either during the Battle of Britain or later in 1941 during The Blitz. Does anyone know anything about this aircraft, the date, location or circumstances of this incident?

Thanks,
