Re: Trying to confirm forced-landing of He111 of 9./KG4, 5J+KT, in Norway during spring of 1940--probably at Fornebu
John Fredrik,
I don't see any He111s on the coppermine website. Were you referring to the terrain, or are there other photos of this He111? The bombers there are Ju88s. It certainly looks like it could be Vaernes. Our EoE Luft Loss DB lists a loss at Vaernes AF that day as: "May 22, 1940: II./KG26 Heinkel He111H-3. Crash-landed at Trondheim-Vaernes, circumstances not recorded. No crew casualties. Aircraft 45% damaged but repairable."
If this is the same as your loss, this could well be the a/c in the photo. We need additional photos of the a/c code to confirm this, among other info.
Regards,
