"This machine... is an Heinkel He 111 H-3 possibly coded 6N+DH or 6N+DX of Ergängzungskette/KGr. 100, one of the first six machines assigned to the unit in August 1940 at its inception. Based in Lüneburg, this pathfinder unit was being trained to use the X-Gerät (X-Verfahren) radio navigation aid that required the fitting of two additional aerial masts. KGr. 100`s first operational use of this system was on the night of November 14/15 against Coventry. The images above suggest they were taken in the late summer of 1940 on the northwestern German coast with the aircraft making an emergency landing due to a technical cause since no combat damage is evident."
