Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
Presume you mean days/weeks before the loss?! Must have been one hell of a lens-presumably PK-photo?

Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
Yes , that is right Chris . The photos was taken only a few weeks before the loss of "1G+EK" . The photo was taken from another HE111 and from the angle I believe from the upper rear gunners position . Not sure if it was a PK photo but who ever took it did a super job . The photo will be published in our upcoming book .

Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
If I sound sceptical, it is with good reason, so perhaps you could examine that "super job" picture of the 1G+EK and maybe it shows a W.Nr. on the fin and possibly also identify the type of He111 ( ie the mark). Roche shows at least four 1G+EK listed of various types.It would be helpful.

Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
Tony , from the other material and photos I have from Toni Boehner's family I am pretty sure I have the right plane but like you rightly said I am not 100% sure . However , Toni has clearly marked some of the photos with arrows showing himself in the glass nose of the HE111 . It would be unlikely that he flew in two HE111 that bore the same codes ! I believe replacement codes were only issued after losses . Are there other photos out there showing HE111's with the codes 1G+EK ?

Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
You are "pretty sure" "I am not 100% sure" confusing?
Can you tell us the type of He111 (the 1G+EK) and is there a W.Nr visible on that great picture you say you have.If visible then we can be certain if it is the Heinkel lost off Ireland.

Re: Fate of " 1G+DK" from KG27
Maybe we should try the website "confused.com" Tony !
The HE111 is a "H" model and you will just have to wait and see the photo in our book when it comes out this year . I am happy to use it and it come direct from Toni Boehner's family . We can only do our best when researching and it is not always possible to satisfy everybody with our findings . I have other photos from Toni also that show other HE111 from KG27 .

Good, we now know it is a H model and all I ask is does it show the W.Nr. I did not ask nor expect you to post the picture that you wish to use. Phew its like pulling teeth
