He115 Wrk.No. 3253 lost 14 Sept 1942

[RT]

Part of the STKZ VF+U is clearly attributed to He115, from at least VF+UP Wn 3243, not 3246, to VF+UZ Wn 3253, without holes , nd logical to find UP = 3243 nd UZ= 3253, also VF+UY is documented as 3252..
Problem is we hv a beautiful picture of an Bf 108, with VF+UZ ....

Regarding these ones,

Something fishy :

RL 2 III / 1183

The sources quoted dont give the STKZ...

Regarding the Do24 losing its tail in september nd ready in december, due to icy month in-berween nd pretty short time, questions could raise ..

I have a problem here with the STKZ.

A master list compiled by Barry Rosch states re the He 115 batch WNr 3245 - 3256 they were VF+UO to VF+UZ.

I can't see anything changed at the STKZ homepage either even if Remi's Bf 108 is also listed.

From where does the 'new' STKZ originate and how certain are they?

Put my 2 cnts here:

He 115 VF+UY (photo goggle/Pinterest, below) shows W.Nr. 3252

(batch count seems found out from VF+UO as 3245, then W, X, Y, and Z as 3256 (12) but seeing VF+UY 3252 gives totally different result,
does not conflict with if Bf 108 VF+UZ (altho I have no proof of this here and now)
