Relic of german seaplane
 

The following relic is from a german seaplane which destroyed near the port of Milos , Greece at 10/10/1944. This airplane was carrying german troops from Milos to Piraeus.It hit the ground while attempting to take off during the night.The casualties were 10 german soldiers.
Does anyone have any loss records from that period ?

Nice to hear again from you. What did you done about the Do22?

Finally appears to be Fairey IIIF.I came in contact with the Greek Aviation Museum and they confirm the identity of the aircraft as a Fairey IIIF.
Do you have any records about the Ju-52 floatplanes in the Aegean?
