Re: German Seaplane - sunk in Channel 11 April 1941
The only loss of a Luftwaffe seaplane around this date, is that of a Breguet Bizerte (W.Nr. 29) KD+BG of 1. Seenotstaffel. The date of the loss was reported as 12.04.41. The plane had to make a forced landing some 100 km north-west of Brest. During the landing the central and port engines broke off. During the salvage attempt by a Flugbetriebsboot, the aircraft capsized and sank. No casualties reported including a rescued british airman.
