Have another 16 pictures in this serie, but no space in this thread (I think).

Thank you for such excellent images!

Thank you John.

Only if all 1940 losses were so good documented, but W.Nr. seems either 5152 or 3152. Attached is BA-MA RL 2/III 1175 GQM loss report, seems it was 65% damaged. Unit usually (later) unit was called Westa 5, getting code D7+_H.

Some of the rest og the pictures shows us that the plane was dismantled and transported on an old lorry to a harbour next to the farm, the rest of the transport to what I think must be Vaernes airfield was by boat.

Thanks for your reply Ed!
Yes this is a very fun picture serie to have , it`s over 30 pictures in total showing the plane complete on the ground to the transport on boat.

I am a novice you could say about all this units , codes ...
But I am curios and I hope you can explaine why there i two W.nr connected to this plane?

Place seems not ideal for a forcelanding , a good piece of luck, or/nd superskilled pilot

John.
Serial given is complete. Basically its question on understanding He 111 production, and the many factories producing it. I am no expert on this.

Here in GQM it is only hard to read, either 5152 or 3152 as you can see on scan. My guess is that it is 3152 but I might be wrong. I am only interested in cause it was weather plane flying to Jan Mayen area.

3152 is the good one , 5152 is not valid for an He111, quite a new plane acceptance in July 40
