Photo's: He 111 H-3 (Wn.5606) V4+FA of Stab KG1 at Broomhill Farm, Camber, East Sussex. 16.35 hrs. September 11, 1940. Started with about thirty other bombers to bomb the Commercial Dock, London. The formation was flying at 21,000 ft and encountered no opposition until over London. In the target area the AA was very good and one engine was hit. The pilot turned for home but was surprised by several Spitfires near the coast, which stopped the second engine. The pilot made a forced landing and the crew set fire to the aircraft which was burnt out. Although they were definitely trying to bomb the Commercial Docks, they also carried a camera in the aircraft for photographing the damage and according to the crew this accounted for the small bomb load but the crew destroyed the film on landing.
