He59 operating off Isle of Wight August 1940

[BrianC]

Hi Chris

Thanks for the response but this poses further questions:

Wearing conventional Luftwaffe markings, how did the He59 avoid being attacked by RAF fighters, especially whilst alighted in British waters?

Do we know the identities of any of the aircrew rescued by the Heinkels?

Were any RAF airmen rescued by the Heinkels?

Are there any reports of such rescues? Any literature available?

Cheers
Brian
