This Dornier 17 obviously force-landed on a beach has been a small mystery to me and others cooperating on the identification of individual losses of the Luftwaffe. I have copies in my collection of four other photographs showing the same aircraft, and have seen at least one additional one.

It has been speculated that this is A6 + KH from 1.(F)/120, and that the location and time is spring/summer 1940 near Stavanger in Norway.
We have however not been able to identify the loss from contemporary loss records, and thus this is still a mystery. If anyone can add any information even if it is just speculation or ideas - please add a comment.
Bildene er fra Refsnesstranden ved Nærland og det er antagelig juli/august 1940. Jeg har disse og flere bilder fra denne hendelsen. En ving fra denne kom frem på stranden ca 1975. Werknummer er 4117. En annen Do 17 fra samme staffel nødlandet på samme stranden, den tok av igjen etter et par dager. Jeg har fått bildene fra en tysk soldat som var på Nærland.
