Insignia for the Stabstaffel of KG2 circa 1940

[obdl3945]

Larry,

I've only looked in on this thread this evening. I hope perhaps the undernoted are of interest.

U5+~C (x 2) would perhaps be the one you refer to in your first point, and U5+EA is possibly the one you refer to in your third point. In my collection I have noted the following caption, courtesy of Peter Cornwell on 10.06.2010: mission to Coventry, port engine damaged by AA fire. Bombs dumped and aircraft crash-landed at Spring Wood, Lodge Farm, Wickham Brook, 09.20hrs , which confirms what you have stated above.

All images are from old e-bay auctions between 2009 and 2011.

Regards,

Paul

Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to respond to this. The first image was new to me and therefore much appreciated. The second I actually won the eBay auction, so am quite familiar with the photo. These both show U5+?A of Stabstaffel of KG2, vice II./KG2 in your records, circa May-June, 1940. There third photo was also already in the EOE Collection via Peter Cornwell.

The new photo will be most helpful in reconstructing that image, although I wished that I'd acquired the original so it was clearer.

Again, your help is much appreciated.

Regards,

As an aside, as the photo linked below clearly shows, the Do17Z coded U5+EA of Stab./KG2, recorded as a 100% loss, was indeed recovered by the British and therefore may have been subject to an RAF Intelligence Report where mention of the markings/emblems could have been made?

The location of the recovered wreck has been confirmed as Norwich...

Apologies for reviving an old post, but having looked at that photo, I can identify the location as the junction of Prince of Wales Road (with the properties and the Hippodrome) and Mountergate in Norwich.
