The He 115 on Malta is also mentioned in Mike Henry’s excellent wartime autobiography “Air Gunner” on page 113. this wasa difficult paperback to get hold off, but i see three or 4 copies now on eBay.

Dear Alastair , It seems there has been a real mystery indeed with that Heinkel 115 in Malta. The free french crew has been identified as: sargent Georges Blaize, R.Gatien and a third character F.A.A Sub.Lt. Roy Drake (observer). Still, apart from the disputed directions towards Tunis or Sicily that might have flown the plane , another capital question arises: Can we find out how many other people boarded that same flight? (French documents are mentioning 2 other free french members too).
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is, by the way, one Heinkel He. 115 currently being restored. It was a German machine (not one of the six originally owned by the Norwegian Air Force) sunk in Hafrsfjord and salvaged in 2012.
