Re: Red-Cross marked He59s July 1940
Brian,
The He 59 that fell to 610 Sqd. was claimed by F/L Edward Smith (according to Mason in the text for 11th Aug. but not shown in the pilot victory list ) who next day was shot down off Dover and baled out into the Channel. He was picked up by an MTB, lucky he did not need the services of the Seenotdienst. Unfortunately at this stage the Luft. QM's returns are very light on aircraft details just giving the type, in this case no mark, code or werk-nummer for the He59,
Regards
Brian Bines
