Unidentified He111 insignia on two force-landed a/c Western Campaign

[F19Gladiator]

Very possible they were taken in 1940 and seen on three different aircraft Robert but then I am also interested in the sources, i.e. the photos and documents in particular.
Night missions over Britain were flown by He 111s based in France in 1940. I'm interested in understanding the time period. What links the photos specifically to the BoF period, excluding the time later in 1940?

The vegetation on the photo I am referring to on my post on LEMB does not enable a firm conclusion on May/June as it could also fit a photo taken later, after the BoF.

The camouflage, or rather painted over unit codes, might perhaps indicate a later date than BoF. How many other photos of He 111s with painted over fuselage codes from BoF do you find Robert? If so what units can those be linked to in order to narrow down the search for the unit in this case?

What camouflage and other specifics do the other two aircraft, featuring the same emblem as discussed, reveal?

I've commented on the 11./KG 54 matter earlier. That's merely an example of bombs figuring in similar emblems.

I am posting the photo from ebay found here: http://cgi.ebay.de/085-Orig-Foto-Ger...d=p3911.c0.m14

As can be seen the fuselage has received a layer of dark paint covering the code and fuselage up to just beneneath the spine but not the BK.


I have to underline that I am not arguing for a specific answer, Unit, time period, as I am collecting more information as well as trying to "read" the signs of what little information I have yet.
