The target on the night of 3-4 May 1942 was Exeter with the RAF claiming 7 destroyed and one probable (a mix of He 111, Do 217 and Ju 88) between 0140 hrs and 0400 hrs (which was MacLachlan's kills at Dinard) so my guess is they had returned from attacking Exeter when shot down. A quick look and I have a Do 217 destroyed and one damaged from KG 2 and a II/KG 40 Do 217 having a landing accident at Rennes possibly relocating there in preparation for the attack that night
