Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Can anyone identify this Heinkel 111 H with certainty?

I think it is a H-1 WNr 5113 which was captured by the French in 1944 and used until at least 1946

The other He 111 H used that I have identified was marked '0919' which to me indicates WNr 160919. Can anyone confirm that assumption as well?
Since this latter aircraft was painted in a dark colour, I rule it out as the above shown one

The book War Prizes is of no help, sorry to say

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Snautzer

Yes I have that photo and the details. Just want to be sure they didn't operate a second similar one.
Many sources claim the French only operated one He 111, but that is not correct....
