KGr.126 He111

Hi guys

Perusing the WINGS PALETTE website I came across the following. Surely an error?




He.111H
Unit: KGr 126, Luftflotte 2
Serial: 1T+ES
Brest, France. It was shot down on beach at ????gate, Kent, UK on 18th June 1940.


Source: "Luftwaffe: Bomber Camouflage and Markings 1940 - Heinkel He.111, Junkers Ju.88, Dornier Do.17" text by Christopher F.Shores, compiled by Peter G.Cooksley and Richard Ward, Aircam Aviation Series No.S10, vol.1, Osprey Publishing Limited, England. SBN 85045-074-8.

Comments welcomed

Cheers
Brian

Totally. 1T+EL crashed at Clacton 30 Apr 40. Definitely not from Brest which was still under French hands. 5J+FP crashed on the beach at Margate 19-20 Jun 40

The WINGS PALLETE website whilst being generally very good does have the odd glaring error here and there (which can lead to confusion)....its best used as a ready reckoner website which needs to be supported with additional research material...but on the whole I think its pretty good....Jules
