The 'Humbie Heinkel' - 28/10/1939

Please advise if any other pictures of this He 111 exist?

For those who may care, I have in my possession (although misplaced) a copy of Aircraft Engineering magazine (c. 1942) that illustrates the wiring diagram for this very aircraft including many of the devices along with the various component values. I guess that's just in case someone wants to build their own!

I stumbled upon this interesting period description of the event (with photo) in Flight magazine from 11/39:

Hi,
I have some old books at home written during the war and with many pictures. This aircraft features in it with some big pictures from several views.
I shall try and dig them out.

I have these, I hope they help! Note the double wing balkankreuz.

Hi...

Thanks to everyone who has recently added more contributions to this thread.

ChrisS, many thanks for the great 'up-front' photo; Tapper, would be very interested to see pics you might have, especially from up near the front of the machine, if possible. And to Stephen, I only have two other pics that haven't been shown so far, and they're attached here... .

Thanks again, guys.

Kindest regards...

Paul

Chris, Paul:

Thank you very much for sharing those pictures. Imagine the mood and talk around that airplane that day! Here's a bit of surviving evidence from the event. Hopefully it will add further knowledge to the historical record for that particular He 111.

Best regards,
Steve
