Do you know who's writing is on the back? By that, Is it the guy who took the photo or is someone who bought the photo postwar and wrote down what they thought?
I ask because I have friends who have been scammed on photos before.

As regards the first photo, the lack of RAF markings on the fuselage,fin and wings make it unlikely that it flew from England in 1941/2.

Why is it unique to the Battle of France? AFAIK, Insignia were often time taken for souvenirs by folks on the ground.

And the countryside is very much French.

I agree but cannot be certain.

I'm sure that there is a lot that happened during the Battle of France that is not in the Text Books. And this applies to perhaps all historical periods. That is why photos such as these are so interesting.

There is an unbelievable amount of lost knowledge out there from the war.
You just have to be very careful and vet your sources well.
