Re: Heinkel float plane English Channel summer 1940
Thank you Chris. My feeling is the story is based on a single anecdotal account, source unknown, so needs to be treated with care. That's not to say there might have been the odd occasion. A review of surface winds for that area in June 1940 suggests they were quite fresh from the NE, which I think could have resulted in unfavourable sea conditions. No matter, I'll leave it there.
