Also, the city of Bizerte is listed in connection with this airplane. Further thoughts?
Not sure Stephen from where you or LRG get that info.
M6 was used by a ocean rescue unit (Seenotstaffel 3) equipped mostly with Heinkel 59 and later
Dornier 24T but also a few former French Breguet 521 'Bizerte'.
The M6 code was not assigned until quite late, 1944 or so.

A Ju 87 would be more or less useless for them.

Cheers
Stig
