Re: Heinkel He115 6I+GL loss

The Küstenmehrzweckestaffel 3.(Mz.)/706 took on strength three He 115's towards the end of September 1939. This unit had the unit code 8L+- L. On October 25, 1939 this Staffel was redesignated Küstenfliegerstaffel 3./906 and continued with the same unit code 8L+ - L, the same unit badge and the same equipment of three He 115's and 10 He 59. The He 115's were transferred to 2./506 on 20 November 1939. It was not until mid March 1940 that 3./906 began converting from He 59 to He 115.
I have not found any major accident to a He 115 of 3./706 and 3./906 from the period of September 1939 to May 1940.
