Re: Dornier Do 24 Units
It is only fair to point out that, if, alternatively, this March 1941 mention of another WNr. 5 was actually to represent the contracted form of Avio 85 (last item in the 6-Mar-41 status list above), then this also makes WNr. 12, KK+UQ, delivered Feb-41, a strong and particularly relevant contender.
It is certain that KK+UQ did go to the Mediterranean since it is recorded flown from Rome Ostia to the Eastern Mediterranean in July 1941. (Although shown as KK+UO in Horst Thürling's history of 7.Seenotstaffel, the real KK+UO being reported in the OQu. KTB as lost with 1.Seenostaffel on 14-Mar-41 - as also noted in the table above).
For the moment though I have not found anything that will definitively resolve which is correct, but someone else may have.
