Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

This is a sharper scan of the photo posted on August 12th (post #2123 on page #213). Anyone has an ID on this a/c?

Post # 2232. This aircraft may be next to a building seen in photos with the V-2.

Sounds extremely unlikely if one reads the caption to the photo....

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello,

# 2232.

From Forsyth's Heinkel He 111:

Picture caption.

He 111 H-6 D-ACLQ of Fluginspektion Afrika at Algiers on 9 November, 1942. Unlike D-ARAJ and D-APZE, which performed similar duties and which were finished in a lighter colour or left in bare metal, this aircraft appears to be finished in a tropical sand colour. The red tail fin band surrounding the Hakenkreuz has also been painted over.

See:
Heinkel He 111 An Illustrated History.
Forsyth,Robert with Eddie J. Creek.
Hersham:Classic.2014.
p.212.
