Re: He 115 W.Nr. 1868
Thanks to all, especially Seaplanes (history) and Ed (link)!
A bit of further web searching turned up this gross production information for the He 115:
1938: Heinkel (Marienehe), 10
1939: Heinkel (Marienehe), 52; Weser Flugzeugbau (Einswarden), 10
1940: Weser Flugzeugbau (Einswarden), 66
Obviously the He 115 that fell in Norway never flew again. Any thoughts on how another He 115 might be allocated the same W.Nr. later? A reporting error perhaps, or could the number have been reused? The latter seems odd to me since so few He 115 were built and production apparently ended in 1940.
Will have a picture of the plate in a day or two.
Best regards,
Steve
