He 114 - Pinguin - Hilfskreuzer
Hello all!
As we know, Luftwaffe didn't use too many of the produced Heinkel He 114. If I counted right the following units got one or more: Kü.Fl.Gr.506 See-Aufkl.Gr.125 and 126 Kü.Fl.St.101 and 102 ...and some "Hilfskreuzer". That's it. The photo below (taken from http://aerophile.over-blog.com/artic...-39892273.html) shows a mechanic painting a penguin-marking on a He 114, a penguin with a tube under his wing. This marking I've only found used by 2./SAGr 130 - only problem, they obviously never had any He 114... So my question: There once was a german Hilfskreuzer which for some time used the name "Pinguin", and which for a short period also had two He 114 onboard - now, could the He 114 shown on this photo possibly have been used on that ship? What do you say? Greetings Hans K Last edited by sveahk; 28th August 2017 at 15:48.
