Landing Accidents, II/KG 26, Eleusis
 

Thanks to Byron, it is possible that the photos I have are of a II/KG 26 machine damaged at Eleusis betwen May & Sep 41. Has anyone any matching QMG's Returns for a slightly damaged He 111 between these dates?

Dear Chris,

I could n`t find any slightly damaged He 111 in Eleusis in the Qu.Meisters 6 returns. Apparently he mentions only the accidents with victims.

regards

Byron

Thanks gentlemen. It must be 10% damaged with all 6 prop blades gone and slight damage to the nose. Definitely no fatalities
