Looks like a Loire 130 to me. Can't comment on unit but thought they mainly served in French waters.

# 131 Lucien Morareau: In june 1940, the Saint-Nazaire SNCAO plant where the Loire 130 were built, was occupied by German troops. At this time, 21 examples of the a/c were in various phases of assembly. In 1941, the German authorities gave their approval to resume work on the assembly line in order to finish 20 machines for the French Navy. Upon their reception flights the a/c were air ferried from Saint-Nazaire to Mâcon on the river Saône, north of Lyon. Although fly by French pilots, as part of the ferry flights were over German occupied par of France, the Loire were obliged to wear German markings. Those temporary markings were painted with water colours over ordinary French markings and were washed out in Mâcon before the last part of the ferrying to Berre, next to Marseille were the Loire were put under storage.
Thus, those 20 aircraft (n° 75 and 81 to 99) wore Luftwaffe markings for ferrying purposes only
