Looking for information on BV-138 losses

[Theodor]

Hi friends, I am looking for further information about two lost flying boats BV-138.

The first one is: BV-138C-1 WNr 310108 PG+KH 8L+FN - 2.Ku.Fl.Gr. 406 - Crashed 01.10.42, Trondheim Fjord, 25% damage /landing accident/; 1.SAGr. 131, crashed 03.05.44, Varna, 100% loss

The second one - not clear: BV-138C-1 WNr 310073 DM+DM 7R+CL - 3./Aufkl.Gr.(See)125, crashed 09.04.43, Copenhagen-Trondheim, 100% loss; 3./Aufkl.Gr.(See)125, crashed 09.04.43, Pl.Qu.5251/05 Ost, 100% loss; T. Mohr gives crash details for 3./Ku.Fl.Gr.406

Can you please give me any further information regarding those two, can you clarify what happened with the second one and actually where it was lost? Thank you!

Dear Theodor,
I don't know if I should write you in English or German.
You want further information about an BV-138:

BV-138C-1 WNr 310073 DM+DM 7R+CL - 3./Aufkl.Gr.(See)125, crashed 09.04.43, Copenhagen-Trondheim, 100% loss; 3./Aufkl.Gr.(See)125, crashed 09.04.43, Pl.Qu.5251/05 Ost, 100% loss; T. Mohr gives crash details for 3./Ku.Fl.Gr.406


I am not sure I can give you that. I am trying to find out what airplane a faroese fisherman shot down on 09.04.43. I have the hole story in faroese langues and are able to tranlate it to english or german, but first I want to ask you about where Pl.Qu.5251/05 Ost is? Do you have those crash details from T. Mohr?

It was not unusual that Luftwaffe was flying from Trondheim to the Faroes, but mostly in Ju88 or Me111.
