Sunderland EK573/P of No 10 Squadron RCAF 'unsticks' after picking up three survivors from a Wellington shot down in the Bay of Biscay, 27 August 1944. Despite a heavy swell - and the knowledge that many such landing attempts had ended in disaster - Flight Lieutenant W B (Bill) Tilley executed a successful rescue. The No 172 Squadron Wellington had crashed after being hit by return fire during an attack on U-534 the previous night.

I can just hear the pilot of the last picture saying "Be a good lad and climb up on the top wing will you. There you go."

Makes you wonder, if Blohm Voss were totally uncapable, to design a 'normal' looking aircraft!

From what I've seen Jan, they weren't capable. Every design I've seen was oddball.
