2/123 Crash-Landing Battle of France
I have just obtained a photo showing a crash-landed Do 17 P of 2/123 (code would appear to be 4U+C or GK). It is definitely not the one lost on 12 May 40 but can anyone help in identifying it? If not, it means me poring through Peter Cornwell's book at the weekend!

Re: 2/123 Crash-Landing Battle of France
Chris,
I've got 4U+GK (G is black outlined white) Ofw Hans Lang KIA SD 1 km E of Thiescourt France on June 7th, and another (more likely?) 4U+CK or OK possibly down on May 24th, all black codes and in good condition. Are either of these possibilities? The latter has a city with a church on the port side of the a/c only a few hundred meters away. Regards,
