Re: He 111 crash at Ham-Noyon Area, France
Here are the pictures I have. (One is a bit blurry). They are taken from a completely different angle then the one Pilot2 found. I think nevertheless that it's the same aircraft. Unfortunately no identification visible.
The lamppost and the electricity pole at the back of the aircraft seem to be the same (but on my pictures there seems to be roadsigns attached to the post) and the three to the left hand side of the aircraft (from the cockpit's point of view) also appears on my first picture.
The name of the pub in the back is "Goutte d'Or", which can be translated as "golden drop (of liquor)".
The first picture has "15.06.1940 - German reconnaissance plane in Ham" stamped at the back in purple ink.
The second has "Shot down He 111 in the Noyon area" written in pencil on the back.
I've sent out two e-mails to local societies (one that collects old postcards, the other a club of militaria collectors) asking assistance in determining the date and place. No reply yet.
Regards,
Rudi.
