He 60 WNr 309 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Many thanks for the information, Seaplanes and Tony. I have a photograph showing this aircraft along with what looks like a four-digit WNr airframe (D1+GH - last two digits possible being 01) and was wondering whether 1./126 was the last Staffel to use this aircraft.

In terms of storage, in 1942 do you have any idea what this meant precisely? I can't see an airframe being over-flown in terms of air time as to necessitate it being 'retired' (especially after 'only' four years), but at the same time I can't see there being a glut of seaplanes that would allow an aircraft to become stored - the Ar 196 and Bv 138 not withstanding.

Cheers

Adam
