Dornier Do 24 flying boats SNG 81 SAR

Any idea what happened to the three Dornier Do 24 flying boats of the SNG 81 SeenotGruppe air sea rescue flown to Britain from Schleswig in 1945? Thanks.

Phil Butler’s fantastic book War Prizes is the place to go for this sort of query. In short, it records that AM114 and AM116 were both scrapped in late-1947, ex-Felixstowe whilst AM115 sank at Felixstowe 2/10/1945 during a gale. That short summary does not do the book justice and it is highly recommended.
