Re: Seenot.Gr.80

Thanks Nick, Brian and Brian

It seems to me that those Seenotgruppen/staffeln most likely to be on search and rescue in enemy areas, that is looking for lost aeroplanes/crews in offensive warfare, were those equipped with fighter aeroplanes, while those searching in home waters did not have that privelidge.

It should be said that they all of course operated other types more suitable for landing in the water as well...

Thanks Brian for the Roman quote. What a clear mind they did have in those days and how little we have learned during the past 2000 years, or should I say 20000 years???

Cheers
Stig
