The Do 18D-3 W.Nr. 731 M7+YK that was lost on 26.09.1939, belonged to Küstenaufklärungsstaffel 2./506. On 25 October 1939 most of Gruppe 506, Stab, 1./506 and 3./506 were renumbered Stab, 1./806 and 2./806 respectively, while the 2./506 was renumbered 1./406. The unit code of Gruppe 506, M7+ was passed on to Gruppe 806. Before 25.10.1939 there were no Gruppe 806 at all.
