Seeking info or photos of I./KG3 Do17Z that FL in Belgium, possibly "near Melsbroeck," on 12.05.40

Hello,

We're still trying to match photos with loss records for I./KG3 aircraft. Here's another one:

According to the revised EoE LW loss DB: "12 May 1940: I./KG3 Dornier Do17Z. Badly damaged in attacks by Sgt Boyer and Sgt Moulènes of GC III/7 near Blesmes and forced-landed in Belgium 1.15 p.m. No crew casualties. Aircraft 30% damaged but repairable."

There are several photos of a FL Do17Z of 1./KG3, 5K+EH, that displays the W.Nr.26__, possibly 2654 or 2634. One of the several photos of this a/c in our DB that originates from eBay carried the caption: "near Melsbroeck," which is a few miles NE of Brussels.

Does anyone have any information that would help us correlate the information and photos? If the reported FL on 12 May 1940 is not 5K+EH, does anyone have any other info or photos that might help us correctly identify what a/c it was, and/or place a correct date and full W.Nr. on the photos of 5K+EH?

Thanx for any help.
