[Seaplanes]

On 26.09.39 the Do 18D-3 W.Nr. 731 M7+YK of 2./506 (This unit used M7+ until redesignated 1./406 on 25.10.39. The new Gruppe 506 used S4+ from then on) was shot down by a Skua of No. 803 Sq. HMS "Ark Royal". The Dornier made a forced landing at sea but was later sunk by fire from other British warships. The crew was rescued by HMS "Somali" and taken POW.

The He 59 reported lost the same date was, as stated by Crolik, 100% damaged when blown off the slipway at Norderney during a storm. The plane was He 59D W.Nr. 1975 of 3./106. The unit code of M2+JK is probably not correct as all third Staffel aircraft used the Staffel-letter "L" and not "K". The Küstenfliegergruppe 106 was the only unit that survived the re-shuffeling of nearly all Küstenflieger units on 25.10.39 and continued to use the unit code M2+.
