Heinkel float plane English Channel summer 1940
I've seen a claim that a "Heinkel float plane" was sometimes observed on the sea off the Isle of Wight between June and August 1940, apparently waiting to rescue casualties from German aircraft shot down over the sea.
For a number of reasons I'm a little sceptical, but truth is sometimes stranger than fiction so I wonder if anyone could comment or shed light on the practice?
