2/123 Crash-Landing Battle of France

[Chris Goss]

I have just obtained a photo showing a crash-landed Do 17 P of 2/123 (code would appear to be 4U+C or GK). It is definitely not the one lost on 12 May 40 but can anyone help in identifying it? If not, it means me poring through Peter Cornwell's book at the weekend!

Chris,

I've got 4U+GK (G is black outlined white) Ofw Hans Lang KIA SD 1 km E of Thiescourt France on June 7th,

and another (more likely?)

4U+CK or OK possibly down on May 24th, all black codes and in good condition. Are either of these possibilities? The latter has a city with a church on the port side of the a/c only a few hundred meters away.

Regards,
