Re: He 115 Loss against PQ 17
The aircraft concerned must be the one that was mentioned in the KTB for Seenotdienstführer 5 (Nord) for 06.07.1942 whic is as follows

"SN Bez. Kdo IX meldet mit F.S.v. 6.7.42
He 115 8L+HH der 1/406 [1/906] in Pl.Q 37 Ost 5572 notgelandet. Do 24 WNr 026 von Wartestellung auf o. a. PQ eingesetzt, nichts gefunden.
He 115 brauchte keine Hilfe, nahm ausserdem von Notlandeposition 2 amerikanische Schiffbrüchige mit.
It is clear that the aircraft got back without any assistance.
