Re: He 111 from KGr. 100 - 14 August 1940

Nick,

Point taken. This wouldn't be the first time that LW markings didn't conform to the norm. Thanx for noting this. So the plane on the beach could well be 6N+CA down on 14 August 1940. The dark area where the "A" is could be an overpaint area for a previous letter that has been painted out, a frequent occurrence. If this is 6N+CA and it FL on the beach on 14.08.40, there is another problem in that Chris has a photo of the beach wreckage of 6N+DH that has a handwritten caption for the location of "Hourtin," which is the same area where 6N+CA is supposed to have FL. Could two KGr100 He111Hs FL on the beach in the same area--seems quite unlikely.

At least we're moving forward here. See my new post about another unidentified probable 6N+DH He111 crash that has stumped me for years.
