Hello OakTree.

This story seems everlasting. I am familiar with the author of the first written article (appearing in local newspaper decades ago) and asked him many times onto specific details. There are however many problems with this case: No un-indentified He 111 wreck has ever been found - the area is now well travelled and only about 15 km from Reykjavik. I think I have found and recorded all wreckes there that can be found in that given area and been to most of the places (others have been to the others and all are well documented). No known report of any flight SEEN on that date(s) - save one unindentifed heard off the South coast (but that could well have been British - well it had to be seen or heard - if it was fired at and no firing was recorded - or is known to me at least). No known loss for this unit (KG 26) on these dates. Losses for that period are well documented and none is actually listed on these dates. And the purpose of the flight has not come to light. There were several German flights over Reykjavik City, both before and after, (and all of these were seem by many, many witnesses besides the British Army / RAF guarding the area) and no tactical or strategic changes had ocurred in the meantime. So was this flight made? I have no evidence on any part of this story actually happening.

Besides, this topic has been discussed here before and my answer remains the same. No actual hard evidence has come to light, and in my opinion this may well not be a true story.

Best regards.
