Re: ID help ebay: Heinkel H-111 9K+BK 1.KG51
John Fredrik,
You have the wrong reference posted with this.
The a/c in the photo is actually 9K+BHX, of 1./KG51, circa June or later, 1940. The X in the code indicates that it was probably being used as a training a/c while the unit was undergoing transition to the Ju88. There are also photos out there of 9K+IHX. This a/c appears to have crashed over a breakwater off the end of a runway somewhere, in either France, or much less likely, Norway. This a/c could have also been used by some other transport or training unit after its service with 1./KG51, and it simply hasn't had its code changed. Someone, hopefully, will recognize the coastline and village in the background, and at least provide a location for this photo.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
