Hi Jim,

I don't have a time period. This photo indicates that it is probably winter or around wintertime that it came down. It also doesn't look like a 100% write off.

Regards, Thomas

Maybe this is it? Note that the photo I have is undated and certainly not this incident. Starboard stabilizer is shot up and there's no snow, but WNr. & code are clearly visible. The date for the loss report 'fits' your photo though.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info!

It took me some time, but I can confirm that the He111 on the picture is indeed the "4476".

Regards, Thomas
