Thank you Brian, very much appreciated.

Any further info on the last two He111s? They are both new to me. By the way, I live about 1/4 of a mile from the He111 crash at Samares !

Thank you Brian, really great stuff!

You are right about that 111 being in Guernsey. The liberating British troops found it in May '45. I wonder what they did with it?
