Need info 2/KG76 pilot Uffz Hanke, his a/c & crew of Do17Z badly damaged during 15.9.40 attack on London

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

In the photo section of Alfred Price's excellent book, "Battle of Britain Day: 15 September 1940," is a photo of BO Uffz Theodor Rehm and crew photographed after return to Beauvais following noon attack on London. Plane reportedly had 47 bullet hits.

We have this incident in our EoE Luft Loss DB as:

"September 15, 1940: 2./KG76 Dornier Do17Z. Returned damaged by fighters during sortie to London Docks 12.15 p.m. and landed with port main wheel punctured. FF Uffz [ ] Hanke, BO Uffz Theodor Rehm and rest of crew believed unhurt. Aircraft damage state not recorded. (Price)

My questions:

a) Can anyone supply the first name of Uffz Hanke?

b) Can anyone identify there other members of the crew besides Uffz Rehm in the photo in the book? I presume that Hanke is one of the four men pictured.

c) Can anyone supply the W.Nr. and a/c code of Hanke's Do17Z that day?

d) Can anyone supply photos of this a/c during its service with the unit or after it was damaged in this incident?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Regards,
