Heinz my man,
I think you are confusing the ventral 'bath' and the low slung engines of the 111 with the JUs radials. Plus the example you give is an HE 111 B series(different outline) and would not have been used in the Btl of Britain.
Your pic shows the retractable gondola, the old cockpit, fixed tailwheel and still carrys the KG 88 number for the Condor Legion, altho' the war cross has been painted in and the fuselage paint altered. Btl of Britain 111s were H and P models.
Also the fuselage of the JU 88 is too long to be the A/C in question.

And of course the posn of the aerial confirms it.

Regards
A :D

I think Marcus will be moving this into "Equipment" soon!! :lol:

Two more Luftwaffe pics, but not Battle of Britain,
although they came from the same source.
A Luftwaffe soldier on guard duty, Russia 1942.
and a Luftwaffe Field Division Artillery crew in
Russia circa 1944.
