All of the old eBay photos below have at various times been identified as Heinkel He 111 H-1, F6+HH, WNr.2117, 1.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 122. This aircraft force landed on Storvatnet lake nr, Trondheim, 22-04-1940. Conditions of war and the environment permitted more than one photo opportunity. After a not particularly successful attempt to destroy the aircraft by fire, the aircraft sunk into the lake. A partial recovery began in 1968.

However I am not totally convinced that this is the same aircraft in every photo. The first photo has a visible +H code, white prop hubs and what appears to be a DB 601 engine (He 111P). The other two photos, one of which also has a +H code do however seem to have a dark prop hub and Jumo 211 engine (He111H). Any comments (on my eye-sight) or alternative identifications will be much appreciated.


Cheers
