Re: Heinkel HE 6 mystery
Ian/Col
The record attempt in 1927 is covered quite well, and Turner is correct. 12.10 take off Warnemünde 12:21H, landed Brunsbüttel 14.20H 13.10 take off Brunsbüttel 09:34H and landed Wilhelmshaven 10:18H 14.10 take off Wilhelmshaven 10:58H and landed Amsterdam 13:02H 16.10 take off Amsterdam 08:05H and landed Vigo 16.00H 18.10 take off Vigo 06:05H and landed Lisbon 08:55H 04.11 take off Lisbon 04:25H and landed Horta, the Azores 14:10H 13.11 take off Horta 02:33H but forcelanded following its third take off attempt and due to the heavy swelling overturned. Besides the two crew already mentioned there was also a Packard engine engineer onboard, Rohde. All three were rescued unharmed but the aircraft was a complete write off. Nothing known about the wreck, but most probably scrapped in some local scrapyard...  Cheers Stig
