Maybe not. There seems to be different ones but here's one that is very close. They range from very pointed to quite rounded.

I had the same question. Looks like maybe that's smoke from a sizeable fire on the ground? Maybe? If so, nice.

Looking good!

What version of the He 111 is that in those screenshots?

(KG 51 markings on He 111s during the BoB? Eh, not so ).

Already answered Its like the GB squadron codes on the RAF aircraft.

Should be a Heinkel He 111 H-3. The H-3 was the first to have the MG FF in the Bugstand. Though it could also be a H-4, but I would need to see the underside of it to tell. What is actually odd though is the ventral gondola, which only has a gunner station at the rear, which would point to a H-1.

Lets hope Oleg or crew can clear this up.

KG 51 was heavily involved in the BoB.

Only that they didn't operate He111 during BoB.

That depends how you define "BoB". The Germans understanding of that is very different. KG 51 operated He 111 at least early in Summer '40 and at shipping raids in the channel were conducted from mid May on.

Stab = relocated to Paris with Ju 88 by 20.6.40

I. = converted to Ju 88 by 10.5.40

II. = set-up with Ju 88

III. = converted to Ju 88 by 20.6.40

IV. = set-up with Ju 88

Now, with BoB beginning in July 1940, there is no chance to see a He111 of KG 51 during this campaign.
