Re: He 59N information
D-ADIT was a He 59N conversion. It was reported in service with Seenotflugkdo.2 in List/Sylt April-May 1940. Detached to Sola seaplane station Stavanger, Norway on 21. June 1940. On 27. June 1940 reported 100% crashed during landing while on ASR-sortie in search for a Lockheed Hudson in Pl.Qu. 2985. The aircraft took off from Stavanger-Sola seapl.stn. The British aircraft was Lockheed Hudson I N7299 of 206 Sq. that was presumed shot down by Ofw. A. Hackl of 5./J.G.77. The location was off Lista, Norway.
The crew of D-ADIT was reported as rescued without casualties.
My references are KTB Gen.d.Lw.beim Ob.d.M./O.Qu. and KTB Seenotzentrale Nord (Luft). The W.Nr. is still uncertain, but one candidate is W.Nr. 1521.
To Leendert: D-ADIT is mentioned several times in my sources as a He 59.
To Matti: Thank you. Could you help me with W.Nr. 1976 that was lost
on 16. June 1941. I need the Stammkennzeichen for this aircraft.
