Hi,

There are references in the Luft.QM Returns for approx. 20 Fw58 incidents between Sept.1940 t0 May 1941, most of these are Liasion aircraft operating with Bomber or Fighter units. One which may interest you is:-

4th.Oct.1940 - Fw 58 DK+GL 2815 of SeenotgruppeNorderney shot
down by own MarineFlak while on Kurierflug, crew
baled out one man injured (no name) near Vlissingen.

I could not find any other references to SeenotgruppeNorderney in the period, there was also damage to a Fw 58 of Seenotflugkdo 4 on the 16th.Sept.1940 at Wesermunde,

Regards

Brian Bines
