Re: Luftwaffe foreign Flying boat
It can also be added that 20+01 was c/n 1 (some state 01 since it was the first prototype) and ex F-BAHE. First flight on 8.10.1942.
In May 1943 it received its German code 20+01.
It remained for quite awhile at Berre/Marignane and made very few flights in 1943 (its 22nd total flight was made on 3.11.1943). Not sure which was the first date in Jan 1944 when it was flown to Germany since it seems to have failed a couple of times....
Destroyed on 13.4.1944 on Lake Constance as Chris stated
Cheers
Stig
