Is it known where it was lost. Possible a propellor blade has been found.

Hello Snautzer,

according to Karl Kössler "Die Kampfgruppe zbV 106" in Jet & Prop 2/2002 this aircraft was missing on 9 April 1940 (transport flight from Uetersen to Stavanger with soldiers of II. Bataillon Infanterie-Regiment 193) over the North Sea because of bad weather.
