Re: Crew of Dornier Do18 wrkn 809, Ku.FL.Gr 2/606 lost 17/10/1939

Hello
a useful source for checking the RN ships is http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-aContents.htm
In this case it only confirm that HMS Juno was in the area see: http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chr...J-HMS_Juno.htm
but Langtree’s The Kelly’s – British J, K & N Class Destroyers of World War II (2002) confirms that during her voyage to Rosyth she rescued the crew of a shot-down Do24 flying boat. As many aviation historians are a bit unreliable on marine matters, same goes other way around as you see, the a/c identification is not exactly correct.
