Re: Information sought on 2./Ku.Fl.Gr 906 .
Hi.
Why should there be a problem that an aircraft stationed at Hörnum on the Frisian Island of Sylt reached Ireland? They might have flown via Norway or France for refuelling for all we know. The max range of a BV 138 was close to 4300 kilometers.
The war diary of the General der Luftwaffe beim Oberbefehlshaber der Marine states that this aircraft was a 2. Staffel aircraft, and that it was destroyed by the crew after an emergency landing.
The loss record as follow by GenQu 6 Abt is in line with the loss as it is written up in the war diary:
