Hello all.
I,ve attached a link to scanned photo of the wreckage of Do 17 on the beach at La Pulente, Jersey.

Also, local diarist - Leslie Sinel - records the incident thus:-
1st November, 1940.
"German plane crashes at La Pulente while on a practice flight over St.Ouen,s Bay;the crew of
5 is killed".
So, five crew killed. Perhaps this explains
Obergefreiter Schinkel! If one crew member belonged to
Aufklarungs Flieger Schule I did that mean that the crew was under instruction or were they being tested in any way?
Steve.
