This was posted by Mothman or over at Key publishing so I'm not taking credit for finding it, but thought it would be of interest here?

Stumbled across a nice little video showing Heinkel 111 1H+EN being towed through Musselburgh.The captions for the movie state that this is the Heinkel shot down at Humbie in the Lammermoor Hills but that was 1H+JA. I'm fairly sure the one in the movie is the one that went on to fly in RAF colours?
Apologies if video has been posted before. First 20+ seconds only (unless you like veg gardening!)

That's really good to see. The children running after it to try and get a better look. I bet so typical of many a similar recovery of aircraft and being transported through towns during the war.

Thanks
