Re: Heinkel He 115 WNr 2398 emerges from the sea near Stavanger

Ernst,

I should have looked at a detailed map of the Stavanger-Sola area before I posted that. The geography in that area is very complicated. I presume the seaplane base at Sola was where the He115s were lost during the attack on 17.04.40. I'm also presuming that this is in the small bay directly to the west of Sola, rather than in the much larger, more enclosed bay to the north. Would that be correct?

Has anyone ever seen any photos of wartime German salvage operations for sunken seaplanes at the at the Sola seaplane anchorage? I'd like to determine what happened to those aircraft.
