He 111 B3+B? down at Knokke, Belgium, May/June 1940
Hi all,
the attached picture was recently sold at Ebay. It's shows a He 111 of KG 54 with a white B. Unfortunately I can't make out the Staffel code letter, but it would be a H,M or R for 1st, 4th or 7th Staffel. The caption on the back says that the picture was taken at Knokke, Belgium. KG 54 was involved in bombing the Wevelgem airfield on May 10th & the "Het Zoute" aerodrome May 12th. During the May 10th attack it lost a 8./54 He 111 in nearby Sluis, The Netherlands. But the aircraft code letter on this aircraft would be red and not white. A possible option would be the 2nd of June when 1./54 lost one and 4./54 lost 2 He 111's in the Dunkirk area. Does anybody have more information about this loss or does anybody know if other pictures exist of this forced landing? Kind regards, Rudi. Last edited by RudiS; 18th July 2009 at 23:43.
