Hello!

Very interesting info. Is this Hungerburg the same Hungerburg which is located on the Estonian-Russian border? Estonian Narva-Jõesuu literally means "the mouth of river Narva". If yes the plane may have been in detachment Seenot command at Kunda Bay. Don't remember the unit offhand.

Cheers,
Kari
