Wellington crew recovery 21st July 1941

Hi,

A Vickers Wellington of No.149 ditched 70 miles off the Dutch coast on July 15th 1941. They spent the next 6 1/2 days in their dinghy until they were eventually picked up by a Heinkel 59 from Schellingwoude (Amsterdam). Trying to find out any details on what unit the He59 was from and any additional details on the crew's recovery.

TIA

Steve
