He 59D W.Nr. 1518 Stammkennzeichen TV+HZ was taken over by the Seenotdienst on 21.07.1940. The aircraft transferred from List via Amsterdam to Boulogne on 31.07.1940. It served with Seenotflugkdo. 3
(later 3. Seenotstaffel) until mid February 1941. It was then ordered to transfer to Syrakus on the east coast of Sicily where it arrived on 19.02.1941. When the 6.
