Re: HE111 I. D. markings help?

Indentifying what is on an photo without seeing it is like a shot in the dark.

Seems this might be He 111 H-6 serial number 4962 with Luftwaffe individual aircraft indentification code SF+CY taken in Germany (or there abouts) at end of the war in 1945. Nothing yet to indicate if used by a school or other unit. That US Piper possibly be a USAAF Piper L-4 Grasshopper (?) for artillery spotting. Doupt photo taken in England at all.

I do not know if there are "instructions" on the internet regarding "Luftwaffe Research" but googling word combinations on this might be a start. Somone might have asked before on such matters. It is really just a chance were people start. For me it started over 40 years ago, hearing stories, writing them down and then by decades of research finding out they were just that. Stories. Mostly misleading and often wrong. In many case false. But I tell you: Luftwaffe research is a huge (mine)field.
