Re: Looking for photo of insignia of Aufklärungsgruppe 122 on wall in an RAF SQ Day Room in France during 1939

Brian,

The photo you emailed was the correct photo. Thanx for sending it. I just realized that it was almost 50 years ago that I first saw this photo in a book, and my memory of it was a little off. One of the pilots is holding this souvenired insignia in his hands, while another across the table is examining one of the red prop spinners from what must have been F6+EK, shot down on 2.11.39. On the table sits one of the machine guns recovered from the wreck. It all fits. I suspect that those prized trophies never made it back to England. Now if we can just figure out a source for obtaining a print of the photo. Does anyone know what the source of the photo is?

Regards,
