He-111 wreck query...
 

sorry if this has been discussed already, the picture below first appeared in a German model magazine in the 1980s, said to be at Paris Le Bourget IIRC. The callsign COULD be 4C + GT (hard to see on the picture). Did anything come to light about the wreck in the meantime (unit, code, serial, date, location of pic etc.)?

Looks like there are P-47s and US trucks in the background.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Best Regards

Hi,
Le Bourget airfield is surrounded by buildings. On the picture, the background is flat and empty...

Matthias, that He 111 is also pictured on colour photo from almost the same angle. The Verbandkennzeichen is hard to be seen, the individual letter is C or G in yellow (horizontal stabilizer hides the detail) and the black letter is T.
On that picture there is also a ambulance (photo taken immediately after crash landing?) and Americans.

That photo was published on the cover of Jet & Prop Foto Archiv Band 6, Spezial Ausgabe - Mai 45 die Luftwaffe kapituliert

please contact me offboard, if I can help you more with that.


cheers
