help identify Icelandic wreck; He 111?

[Vance Pollock]

I have been told that the following wreckage is from an He 111 which went down against a cliff near Búðareyri (Budareyri), Reyðarfjörður, east Iceland on 25.1.1941. Would like additional info on this plane...

Can't say so much about background of the Plane, but it's definitively a He111(H?) from what I can see.
Try to compare the pictures of exhaust pipes from the wreck with this one:

The details are in for this wreck. My dates had some juxtaposed numbers...

from the Norway During WW2 Forum http://f16.parsimony.net/forum28300/

I'm not aware of any Luftwaffe aircraft being lost at Reyðafjörður on 25.1.1942. There was, however, a He 111 of 4/KG.40, F8+GM, Wnr 3900, that crashed into to mountain Krossanesfjall at Reyðarfjörður at circa 0210 hrs on 22 May 1941. The four-man crew lost is that you have listed as buried at Fossvogur Cemetery 21.5.1941.
