Heinkel He 59 D-ASUO
On 9 July 1940 this aircraft with red-cross markings was forced down on the Goodwin Sands and towed by boat to Walmer life boat station near Ramsgate. At the end of July, the aircraft was towed to Dover harbour and moored there. Can someone give the story what happend to this plane after Dover. It was mentioned in the newspaper Dover Express on 2 August 1940.
Secondly I would ask for an interrogation report of the crew of this aircraft. The pilot was Uffz. Helmut Barthmann, or something close to this. Did any other He 59 reach British shores during 1940, or was D-ASUO the only one. I do hope that someone could help me out.
