#994 You are absolutely correct Nick. According to the 2-part history of TGr30 by C.Archambault & J-L.Roba in 'Avions 131 & 132', TGr30 was formed from KGrzbV23 in May 1943 with Stab and four staffeln, but when it moved from the MTO (Practica Di Mare to Kaufbeuren in Allgau) at end of 1943 , the 4/TGr30 was dissolved and absorbed by the other three staffeln.The 'Aero Journal Hors-Serie 48' is devoted to the He111 and authored by C-J.Ehrengardt and on page 112 is a colour profile of 5J+HK (701412) as operated by 3/TGr30 at Zellhausen at end of 1944, so perhaps Pegg's (700328) could actually be 5J+IP of 6/KG4. The 5J or S3 is not distinct whereas the IP is clearly marked
Just a possible explanation?

Hello everyone,
I reread all of the threads regarding He 111 H-20, marked 5J+IL, and found abandoned at Schweinfurt. However, I am still uncertain what the consensus is regarding its Werknummer. In my files, I have twelve photos of this aircraft, several of which clearly show that it is Werknummer 700628.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

#1005 Thanks Steve for this info, so do your copies clearly show 5J+IL or 3S+IL?.
Regards
Peter

I would like to name RudiS who took over half way and is carrying this one on an almost daily basis.

Thanks Rudi,

And I will add my thanks to Rudi. One picture is worth a thousand words. It can help fill in missing pieces as research continues.


Nest,

Thanks Rudi,

Thanks but I didn't "took over". I'm just filling in the gaps: posting what the regular posters missed. Apparently my saved searches on eBay seem to come up with items other people don't find.

Here is one more:

Well RudiS,

Your vigil is highly rewarding : your latest find shows in the background a Bf 109 G-6/AS, G-14/AS or G-10, from the Stab of an unknown II. Gruppe.
In the foreground, you might have a Bf 109 K-4 from an early production batch, in the W.Nr. 330xxx - 331xxx. Still unsure though.

As for the location, might this be Bad Lippspringe ?

Cheers
Marc

Looks like we have an early citizen of Tulsa who wanted to put that place on the map. I only thought Gene Pitney knew where it was....at least back in the 1960s...

Cheers
