Re: Heinkel He 60 losses

Hello,

I've noticed some discrepancies between data given by Marius in his book about Luftwaffe in Poland and data presented in this topic about seaplanes. According to Marius there were:
Shot down - 3 seaplanes (2 in East, 1 in West)
Destroyed - 10 seaplanes (4 in East, 6 in West)
Damaged (20-59%) - 5 seaplanes

The problem is that in this topic there are only 8 seaplanes mentioned as lost due to accidents:
2.IX He.60D (Pillau) 1./Kü.Fl.Gr. 506
3.IX Do.18 (Baltrum) 2./Kü.Fl.Gr. 106
7.IX Do.18 (Hörnum) 2./Kü.Fl.Gr. 606
11.IX He.60E (Pillau) 1./Kü.Fl.Gr. 506
12.IX Do.18 (North Sea) 2./Kü.Fl.Gr. 106
13.IX Do.18 (Ameland) 2./Kü.Fl.Gr. 106
17.IX He.114 (Pillau) 1./Kü.Fl.Gr. 506
26.IX He.59D (Norderney) 3./Kü.Fl.Gr. 106

So we are missing 2 destroyed seaplanes (1 in East and 1 in West). Anyone knows when and where those 2 missing planes were destroyed?!


Also Seaplanes mentioned that He.60 which was interned in Sweden on 22.IX was from 1./Kü.Fl.Gr. 306, but it's markings (K6+QH) indicates that as far as I know the plane was in fact from 1./Kü.Fl.Gr. 406. Can anyone help and solve this discrepancy?!


Best regards,
Andrzej
