Clint,
By cut and paste “I’m unsure as to whether any of the following information is accurate” you are contributing to the problem of internet whispers without moving it to any factual conclusion.
Aircraft crashed on land and was removed.
“The three men in the rear of the aircraft were all wounded. The observer went back to attend to them but did not return. All the controls were damaged and the pilot and observer baled out.”
So five crew in all not just four names as in the cut and paste research.
AIR40/2398 gives the detail and names the pilot as Uffz Gerhard Schaffner.
The ES Water article that you quote makes it clear that EOD clearance dives took place post 1990 to deal with the mines that were sown to deter alighting.
So why then say “Quite whether there is still a Heinkel at the bottom of the reservoir I don’t know?”?
No He,111 in Abberton Res in 1940 and still no He.111 when subject to EOD clearance dives in the 1990s.
