That would be the very same and one. I know it's there, I was fortunate to get a close look at it in the late 70's when it was undergoing restoration. Also met 2 of the surviving crewmembers including the skipper, as well as 2 of the Brits from 801st who shot it down. They were gathered for a memorial service for the gunner Willi Stock who was killed in the battle. Also present, IIRC (at least she came up here at some point) was Willi's daughter.

EDIT: Come to think of it. They sure had rotten luck. Taking part in the Polish campaign and was shot down early without casualties. Transfered to Norway where they again were shot down on one of their first sorties, this time for good. The 111 was a sleek plane, in the 30's but by 1940 it was as modern as a T-ford.
