The AIR-BRITAIN Militarv Aviation Historical Quanerlv

This photograph shows the Heinkel He 115B-1 floatplane 'F64 , of the Royal Norwegian Navy after its arrival in the UK.
The Norwegians had their own He 115A-2s, with 'F64 , being a later Luftwaffe example captured during the German invasion of
Norway in Apri!1940 and flown to Scotland with the surviving He 115As after Allied forces withdrew from Norway. The photo
is thought to have been taken in early 1941 at Scottish Aviation's Greenock works where the Heinkels were overhauled
before entering RAF service and shows that British markings have been applied, but it still awaits the painting of its RAF serial
number, BV187. It was W.Nr 2400, formerly 'M2+FH' of Kustenf/iegergruppe 106. (Via Phi! Butler)
