Re: KFlGr losses 30th September/1st August 1940
First of all, no losses of seaplanes were reported for 31.07.1940. For 01.08.1940 two He 115s from 3./506 were reported missing off the east coast of Scotland. 3./506 was then based at Stavanger, Norway and consequently had nothing to do with Schellingwoude.
On 01.08.1940 the following units were transferred to Schellingwoude:

1./196 detachment with Ar 196 from Thisted, Denmark.
In addition the Seenotdienst operated a small detachment of one or two aircraft (He 59) from Schellingwoude.
On 01.08.1940 1./196 reported 70% damage to Ar 196A-2 W.Nr. 0066
when landing at Schellingwoude. No casualties.
Also the He 115C W.Nr. 3239 of 3./106 was reported 100% when making a crash landing at Schellingwoude. No casualties.
