Tricky this one Clint

The Germans captured quite a few Marinens Flyfabrikk (Höver) MF.11 during the invasion of Norway.
Even more tricky it becomes because four additional aircraft were also under construction in April 1940. The Germans ensured these four were finished by the Norwegians in 1941 and delivered to various Fliegerhorst See along the Norwegian coast.

If those aircraft which were captured were actually overhauled and put in use as well, I don't know.

Hopefully Seaplanes (Björn) will check this and come back to us if he has any further details to add.
In his book I cannot see he has identified any aircraft to a specific German STKZ.

With regard to units, I think the MF.11s belonged to the actual Fliegerhorst See stations and not anything else.
Cheers
Stig
