He59b engagement August 1940.

Trying to find any information on the crew of a He59b that was engaged by aircraft from 604 squadron. The He59b was based at Cherbourg, it was picking up crewman from the water about thirty miles into the channel when it was destroyed by Blenheim's on the 11th August 1940

Believe a downed RAF pilot may of been on board.

After any info on the crewman or the engagement, i know what the unit and aircraft markings are thanks.

Regards
Danny
