Looking for photo of insignia of Aufklärungsgruppe 122 on wall in an RAF SQ Day Room in France during 1939
Hello,
Many years ago I remember seeing a photo of the Aufklärungsgruppe 122 insignia of the black stylized eagle on a yellow shield published in a book on the Phoney War period. This insignia was cut from a shot down German bomber and displayed on the wall of a day room of an RAF fighter SQ in France, probably in 1939. There are several British pilots relaxing in the photo. This may have been cut from the He111H of 2.(F)/122, F6+EK SD by 87 SQ Hurricanes on November 2, 1939, the first Luft bomber brought down in France by the RAF.
Does anyone have a copy of this photo or know where I can find a copy of it for use as a reference in color profile work? I checked Andy Mitchell's website on the unit regarding this incident, and there are other photos there of the crash and salvage of the above a/c, but not the photo that I'm looking for. Who knows what I'm talking about and might be able to help? This could well be an IWM photo.
Thanx,
