This is a repaint (textures only) for the payware Heinkel He-111 by Virtavia (formerly Alphasim). This repaint represents He 111H-2 from 9. Staffel Kampfgeschwader 53, Lille-Nord, France, 1940. This aircraft depicted here, Wkr Nr 3340, 'Yellow B' of 9./KG53 'Legion condor' is shown with the wing bars (for fighter identification and station keeping) during the big daylight raids on London during Sunday 15 September 1940-the climax of the Battle of Britain. The three white panels have always been said to indicate the III Gruppe of a Geschwader, although so many anomalies exist as to throw doubt on this assumption. This aircraft was in fact damaged in action on that day and force landed at Armentiers with two wounded crew members; recent computerized research suggests that it was probably attacked by Spitfires of No. 66 (fighter) Sqn.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
