Do217 E4 coded U5+KR

I know it is a long shot, but does anyone know of any photos of a Do217 E4 coded U5+KR that crashed near Lincoln, late on 15 Jan 1943. It was shot down by a NFII Mossey of 151 Sqn. All crew were lost.

You sometimes find photos of the crashed aircraft.

Thanks

Danny

It was a Do 217 E-4 not Do 17. No known crash photos but I have a 7./KG 2 photo album which I will have a look at
