Re: He 59 loss
Hi von Alles/ Stig
I've attached pictures showing aircraft with a similar numbering system on the tail, this time an He 59 of 9 NSNSt and the tail of an He 115 from an unknown unit (unfortunately, I don't have any sort of program that may clear up the later image enough to see the number).
Of course, the use of such numbers on the tails may not have been for training units, but they don't correspond to a WNr and if instead it was a Seenot practice, then its odd that there is an He 115 with a number painted on the tail and/or other known Seenot a/c didn't display numbers in this way (perfect example, picture 1 from above). That leaves only training establishments. It's a long stretch, I know and the number on the He 115 may not be connected to the idea behind the He 59 numbers...
cheers
