Re: He-59 & 3/Seenotgruppe
One of the picture shows only a letter "G" under the left lower wing.
I know about four He 59s from Seenot bases on French / Belgian soil with codes DA+ML, DA+MN, DA+MR and DA+MG. Could it be that photographed in Oostende, 1941 which belonged to 3. Staffel/Seenotgruppe ? Any comments much appreciated. Michal |

Re: He-59 & 3/Seenotgruppe
He 59C W.Nr. 529 DA+MG was noted with Seenotflugkdo.2 on 29.08.40.
It was damaged 100% in a courierflight to Boulogne on 16.09.40. The other option is He 59C W.Nr. 542 TW+HGserving with Seenotflugkdo. 3 in the autumn and winter of 1940/1941. In March 1941 the aircraft was allocated to 7. Seenotstaffel and transferred in mid April 1941 to Saloniki via Varna. I also have a Stammkennzeichen PY+NG possibly used by a He 59, but unfortunately no further info. |

Re: He-59 & 3/Seenotgruppe
Seaplanes,
Thank you again for interesting informations. The PY+NG could a candidate if one narrows both eyes. From other side - by chance, is there more info to W.Nr. 1824 of the 3. Staffel/Seenotgruppe which should have been destroyed by 615 Squadron on 14/10/41 ? Michal |
