Re: Crashing He-111 at sea

All:

Another possibility could be an aircraft from from 2. or 3. Staffel of I./KG-26 during operations against Arctic convoys PQ 11, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

This a/c appears to be coded M on the underside of the wing and could be He 111 H-6, Werknummer 7156, coded 1H+MH. This aircraft was shot down 4 July 1942 attacking PQ-17 (info from the excellent Luftwaffe in Norway website - http://www.luftwaffe.no/SIG/Losses/tap422.html).

I could be completely off, however, if KG-26 in Norway didn't use the Eastern Front band.
