13th May 1940 He 111 of 1./KG 4

Hi Larry and Bas,

We're mixing a few discussions here, but nevertheless that's good because it made me review my data.

• Wnr 2166, the presumed 5J+CH of May 13 was a P-2 model, so that seems to fit. It is intersting to see that the names of the crew are not known, and don't appear in the overviews. That suggests they were shortly afterwards released after the Dutch surrender.
• at closer inspection of the best picture I have of the 5J+DA, I'm convinced the wnr is not 2909, but more likely 2901, making that one also a P-2. But it is at the limit of scan resolution, so not 100% guaranteed. Is there a formal source of 2909 other than the pictures?
• wnr 2912 of the unknown a/c makes that one a P-4. I don't know where your suggestion comes from that this was a 5J+D? coded aircraft, Larry, but if correct that could be the 5J+DN at Zevenbergschehoek (N. of Breda) on May 10. That's the only 5J+D I have other than the 5J+DA. Are there more pictures that could confirm this?

Regards, Pieter
